Answer:

5cm by 1.95cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be x

Let the width be y

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y

If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;

13.9 = 2x + 2y ..... 1

If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;

17.8 = 2x + 4y ..... 2

Subtract 1 from 2;

13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y

- 3.9 = -2y

y = 3.9/2

y = 1.95 cm

Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;

From 1;

13.9 = 2x + 2y

13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)

13.9 = 2x + 3.9

2x = 13.9-3.9

2x = 10

x = 5 cm

Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm

Find the area of the circle.<br> 12 ft
Ratling [72]

Answer:

  • Area of the circle is 113.04 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Diameter of circle = 12 feet

To Find:

  • Area of the circle

Using formula:

\\ \:  \: \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:{\underline{\boxed{  \bf{Area_{( circle)} = \pi r^2}}}} \\ \\

<em>Where,</em>

  • π = 3.14
  • Diameter = 12 feet
  • Radius = 12/2 = 6 feet

On substituting the required values, we get:

\\   \:  \: \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \sf Area_{(Circle)} =    3.14 \times  {(6)}^{2}  \\  \\  \\ \:  \: \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \sf Area_{(Circle)} =   3.14 \times 36 \\  \\  \\ \:  \: \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \sf Area_{(Circle)} =  113.04 \:  {ft}^{2}  \\  \\  \\

Hence,

  • Area of the circle is<u> </u>113.04 ft²
