Mathematics

8 0

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

If 36 boys can conplete a task in 4 hours, then 19.35 boys could do it in 2 and a fourth hours.

You can set up an equation

A fourth of an hour is 15 minutes, so,

36 is to 4 as x is to 2.15, or,

36=4 as X=2.15

Multiply 2.15 by 36 (77.4)

77.4 divided by 4= 19.35.

Of course, you cannot have 19.35 boys, so there must be 20.

Hope this helps!

The circumference of a circle is 23π m. What is the area, in the square meters? Express you answer in terms of pi
seraphim [82]

Answer:

<h2>132.25π  m²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is 23π

On the other hand, The circumference of a circle = 2×π×r ; where r is the radius.

then

by equating the last two expressions we get: 23π = 2πr then r = 23/2

then

the area = π × r² = (23/2)²×π = (132.25)×π
