Hello!

Given the formula for the area of a square is:

<span>A=<span>s2</span></span> where A is the Area and s is the length of the side of the square, we can find the length of one side of the square by substituting and solving:

<span>9<span> in2</span>=<span>s2</span></span>

<span><span>√<span>9<span> in2</span></span></span>=<span>√<span>s2</span></span></span>

<span>3 in=s</span>

<span>s=3 in</span>

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can find the length of the squares diagonal which is also the diameter of the circle:

The Pythagorean Theorem states:

<span><span>a2</span>+<span>b=</span><span>c2</span></span> where a and b are legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. In this case, both legs of the triangle are sides of the square so the are both the same length. Substituting and solving gives:

<span><span><span>(3i n)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(3i n)</span>2</span>=<span>c2</span></span>

<span>9<span> in2</span>+9<span> in2</span>=<span>c2</span></span>

<span>9<span> in2</span>×2=<span>c2</span></span>

<span><span>√<span>9<span> in2</span>×2</span></span>=<span>√<span>c2</span></span></span>

<span><span>√<span>9<span> in2</span></span></span><span>√2</span> in=c</span>

<span>3 in<span>√2</span>=c</span>

<span>c=3<span>√2</span> in</span>

We can now find the perimeter of the square and the circumference of the circle.

Formula for Perimeter of a square is:

<span>p=4s</span> where s is the length of a side of the square.

Substituting and calculating p gives:

<span>p=4×3 in</span>

<span>p=12 in</span>

Formula for the circumference of a circle is:

<span>c=2πr</span> where r is the radius of the circle.

Or,

<span>c=dπ</span> where d is the diameter of the circle. Remember: <span>d=2r</span>

Substituting and calculating c gives:

<span>c=3<span>√2</span>π in</span>

We can then write the ratio of the circumference to perimeter as:

<span><span><span>3<span>√2</span>π in</span><span>12 in</span></span>⇒</span>

<span><span><span>3<span>√2</span>π in</span><span>124 in</span></span>⇒</span>

<span><span><span><span>√2</span>π</span>4</span></span>

Write and solve an equation based off the verbal phrase: 6 more than x is equal to 33
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

x + 6 = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

6 more than x means there's an increment in the value of x by addition of 6

x + 6 = 33

This leads to an algebraic linear equation. x is an unknown variable and can be solved for

we subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

x + 6 - 6 = 33 - 6

x = 27

Therefore, we can say 6 more than 27 is 33
