Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the vertex to the base is a perpendicular bisector.
Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the right.
( x )² + 3² = (
)² , that is
x² + 9 = 45 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x² = 36 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 12
ANSWER
• Circumference: 18.84 ft
,• Area: 28.26 ft²
EXPLANATION
The circumference of a circle of radius r is,
In this case, the radius is r = 3 ft and we have to use 3.14 for π,
Hence, the circumference of this circle is 18.84 feet.
The area of a circle of radius r is,
In this case, r = 3 ft and π = 3.14,
Hence, the area of this circle is 28.26 square feet.
