Simon has a rectangular garden that is ten feet wide. The perimeter is 50 feet. What is the area of her garden?
2 answers:
So the perimeter is the measurement of the shape all around. I marked the perimeter in green.
Let's use <em>l</em> for the unknown side.
Since the equation to find the perimeter of a rectangle is
(<em>p </em>= perimeter, <em>l </em>= length, <em>w </em>= width)
<em>p </em>= <em /><em>l </em>+ <em>l </em>+ <em>w + </em>w
Since <em>w</em> = 10, and p = 50..
<em />50 = <em>l </em>+ <em>l </em>+ 10 + 10
Simplify:<em>
</em>50<em> </em>= <em />2<em>l</em><em> </em>+ 20
Now let's solve:
Subtract 20 from each side.
30 = 2<em>l</em>
Divide by 2 on each side.
15 = <em>l</em>
Now that we know the length is 15, we can use this equation to find the area.
(<em>a</em> = area)
<em>a</em> = <em>wl
</em><em />Since w = 10, and l = 15...
<em>a </em>= 10 · 15
Solve:
a = 150
The answer is 150.

Answer: The answer is the first explanation.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given five different options and we are to select which explanation is correct to derive the formula for a circumference of a circle.
Let 'C' be the circumference and 'd' be the diameter of a circle. Now, we will write the ratio of the circumference to the diameter as
Also, we know that
And diameter of a circle is twice the radius, so
Therefore,
This is the formula for the circumference of a circle. Since this explanation matches exactly with the first option, so the correct option is
(a). Find the relationship between the circumference and the diameter by dividing the length of the circumference and length of the diameter. Use this quotient to set up an equation to showing the ratio of the circumference over the diameter equals to π . Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.
