Answer:
Given - Radius of ring is 9 millimeters
To find - Circumference
Solution -
9 millimeters = 0.9 centimeters
Circumference of circle = 2 × pie × r
= 2 × 3.14 × 0.9
= 6.28 × 0.9
= 5.652
Yep!
Weighing #1: Start off by splitting the pile of 12 coins evenly into two piles, 6 in each pile. Put one pile on each side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has the fake coin it in. Ignore the other 6 coins.
Weighing #2: Now you have 6 coins left. Split the pile evenly again, 3 in each pile. Repeat the same process and put each pile on one side of the balance. The side that is weighed down has your fake coin in it. Ignore the other 3 coins.
Weighing #3: You have 3 coins left. Take two coins, whichever two you like, and weigh them. If they weigh the same, then the one you didn't weigh is the fake one. If one is heavier, then that heavier one is your fake coin.
Shifting in the y direction is as simple as adding the shift, ie.,
f(x) = x+4.
In the x direction it is trickier because then you have to replace x by (x-a) where a is the shift to the right... (but that wasn't asked here).
