Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

A balloon has a circumference of 28 in use the circumference to approximate the surface area of the ballon to the nearest square
nikklg [1K]

The surface area of the balloon is 249 in².

<h3>What is the surface area of the balloon ?</h3>

A balloon has the shape of a sphere. The distance round the sphere is equal to the circumference of the sphere.

Circumference of the sphere = 2πr

Where:

  • r = radius
  • π = pi = 22 / 7

Radius - circumference / 2π

28 / ( 2 x 22/7) = 4.45 inches

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr²

4 x 22/7 x 4.45² = 249 in²
