Answer: 3.25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

as a tangency and a radius make a right angle, we can use Pythagoras.

            c² = a² + b²

    (r + 2)² = r² + 3²

r² + 4r + 4 = r² + 9

            4r = 5

              r = 1.25 m

so the official is standing 1.25 + 2 = 3.25 m from the center of the circle

This makes sense as a standard discus throwing circle is 2.5 m dia.

4/9 expressed as a percent please help and show work! Please
coldgirl [10]
4/9 as a percent is (about) 44%   Work:
First get a decimal by dividing 4/9(4 divided by 9) you get 0.44 repeating
Next, take away the 0. and add a percent sign at the end of 0.44. You get 44%
Truly, the answer is 44.44444...% because the four repeats, but if you round it is simply 44%
