lys-0071 [83]

Answer:
let x=rate of the rowing team in still water
x+4=rate of the rowing team with current
x-4=rate of the rowing team against current
travel time=distance/rate
..
90%2F%28x%2B4%29=10%2F%28x-4%29
90x-360=10x+40
80x=400
x=5  rate of the rowing team in still water=5 mph

Find the circumference and area of a circle A with a diameter of 26 inches.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Circumference: 81.681 in; Area: 530.929 in

Step-by-step explanation:

To find circumference we use the formula pi x diameter. Which in this case is pi x 26 in, or approximately 81.681 in.

For the area, we use pi x r^2. r = 1/2 d, so r = 13in. Therefore, the area is equal to 169 x pi in, which is about 530.929 in.
