Answer:
(a) P = 2x + 2r + 2πr
(b) x = ½(P - 2r - 2πr)
(c) x = 123 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
See Attachment for sketch of the track
Solving for (a): Perimeter of the track
This is calculated by adding the perimeter of the rectangle to the 2 semicircles as follows.
P = Perimeter of Rectangle + Perimeter of 2 Semicircles
P = 2(x + r) + 2 * πr
[Where r is the radius of both semicircles]
Open bracket
P = 2x + 2r + 2πr
Solving for (b): Formula for x
P = 2x + 2r + 2πr
Make x the subject of formula
2x = P - 2r - 2πr
Divide both sides by 2
x = ½(P - 2r - 2πr)
Solving for (c): the value of x when r = 50 and P = 660
Substitute the given values in the formula in (b) above
x = ½(P - 2r - 2πr)
x = ½(660 - 2 * 50 - 2π * 50)
x = ½(660 - 100 - 100π)
x = ½(560 - 100π)
Take π as 3.14
x = ½(560 - 100 * 3.14)
x = ½(560 - 314)
x = ½ * 246
x = 123 feet
Answer:
Joe is 14.
Martha is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the variables and information from the question to make equations.
If Joe's age is half Martha's:
(1/2)m = j OR 2j = m
If their ages combined is 42:
m + j = 42
We can substitute the equation m=2j into equation m + j = 42, replacing "m".
m + j = 42 Substitute m for 2j
2j + j = 42 Combine like terms, terms with same varables
3j = 42 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate j
j = 14 Joe's age
Since j = 14, we can substitute it into equation m=2j to find "m".
m = 2j Substitute j for 14
m = 2(14) Simplify
m = 28 Martha's age
Therefore Joe is 14 and Martha is 28.
