Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

All the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, hence the perimeter is expressed as P = 3s

s is one of the side length

Given DE = 5x - 8

P = 3DE

P = 3(5x-8)

36 = 3(5x-8)

36/3 = 5x-8

12 = 5x - 8

5x = 12+9

5x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 4

Hence the value of x is 4

What is the best approximation for the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 300 feet

garri49 [273]

Answer:

The answer is C=942.48

Step-by-step explanation:

You would figure this out by using the formula C=2πr.

So let's break this down.

Circumference (C) equals (=) pi (π) times 2 times the radius of the circle.

Since the problem gave you the diameter which is the length from one side of the circle to the other, you have to divide the diameter in half. Which would give you a radius of 150.

Taking the 150 you would multiply 10*2*π.

Which would give you....(drumrollllll)

C=942.48

I hope this helps!!

p.s. have any more questions? Post them and comment the link!♥, Sadie
