Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches
Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches
Area of circle = π r²
Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²
Circumference of a circle = 2 π r
30 = 2 * 3.14 * r
r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches
Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²
254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²

Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
"Two more" = + 2
"quotient of a number and 6" = n/6
"equal to 8" = = 8
Set the equation:
n/6 + 2 = 8
Isolate the variable n. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 2 from both sides.
n/6 + 2 (-2) = 8 (-2)
n/6 = 8 - 2
n/6 = 6
Isolate the variable n. Multiply 6 to both sides.
(n/6)(6) = (6)(6)
n = 6 * 6
n = 36
36 is your answer.
