By what percentage must the diameter of a circle be increased to increase its area by 50%?

The area is to be increased by 50%.

Area of the circle is given by: A = πr²

New Area = A' = A + 50% of A = 1.5 A 
Let the new radius be R.

So, we can say:

A' = πR² = 1.5 πr²
⇒

R² = 1.5r²
⇒
R = √1.5 r

This shows that the radius must be increased to square root of 1.5 times to increase the Area by 50%.

Diameter is the twice of radius, so the change in diameter will also be the same i.e square root of 1.5 times.

So, diameter must be made 1.225 times. In percentage this can expressed as 22.5%.

Hence, the answer to this question is 22.5%

The circle increase in area will be by a factor of 1.5
So corresponding increase in the diameter will be a factor of  sqrt 1.5 = 1.2247

Answer is 22.47 %

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 16, z has the value 0.875. What is the value of z when x= 21?
ziro4ka [17]
For z and x to be inversely proportional, there must be some constant k such that

zx=k

Given that z=0.875 when x=16, it follows that

0.875\cdot16=k\implies k=14

Then when x=21, we have

21z=14\implies z=\dfrac{14}{21}=\approx0.667

For this figure what is the value of X?<br><br> How did you solve this?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a parallelogram.

For a parallelogram,

sum of angles in one side is 180.

we know, in a parallelogram,

the consecutive angles are supplementary or

their sum is  180.

So, we get,

x+33+87=180

or, x+120=180

subtracting   120

x+120-120=180-120

or, x=60
