s and solve them, reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct viable arguments and analyze the reasoning of others, and look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Directions Read the instructions for this self-checked activity. Type in your response to each question, and check your answers. At the end of the activity, write a brief evaluation of your work. Activity The diameter of each of the three circular lights in a traffic signal is 7 inches. In this activity, you will find the total area of the three lights. Part A Each circular light has a diameter of 7 inches. What is the radius of each light?
Micah did not explain the last step correctly. You cannot cross out a term from the numerator and denominator unless it is a factor. In other words, x² needed to be multiplied and not added in order to cross it out.
