In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. Divergent boundaries within continents initially produce rifts which eventually become rift valleys. Most active divergent plate boundaries occur between oceanic plates and exist as mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.

You have a circle with a diameter of 24 divided into 16 sections what is the size of each section

ziro4ka [17]

The circle with diameter of 24 means that 2 $\pi$ r = 24.

Solving for r, we get $\pi$ r=24.

Dividing both sides by $\pi$ , we get r=24/ $\pi$ .

The area of the full circle is $\pi$ times 24 squared over $\pi ^{2}$ . The $\pi$ being multiplied cancels out, meaning that 24 squared over $\pi$ is the area of the full circle. 24 squared is 576, and dividing by 16 we get $\frac{36}{\pi}$ as the answer.
