Find the exact area of a circle having the given circumference.

blagie [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a circle:

$A=\pi r^2$

r - radius

The formula of a circumference of a circle:

$C=2\pi r$

We have:

$C=3\pi$

Substitute:

$2\pi r=3\pi$ <em>divide both sides by 2π</em>

$r=1.5$

Substitute:

$A=\pi(1.5)^2=2.25\pi$

Use the compound interest formula A =P(1 + r) t and the given information to solve for r.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Rounding to nearest hundredths gives us r=0.06.

So r is about 6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given:

$A=P(1+r)^t$

where

$A=2300$

$P=1600$

$t=6$ .

$A=P(1+r)^t$

$2300=1600(1+r)^6$

Divide both sides by 1600:

$\frac{2300}{1600}=(1+r)^6$

Simplify:

$\frac{23}{16}=(1+r)^6$

Take the 6th root of both sides:

$\sqrt[6]{\frac{23}{16}}=1+r$

Subtract 1 on both sides:

$\sqrt[6]{\frac{23}{16}}-1=r$

So the exact solution is $r=\sqrt[6]{\frac{23}{16}}-1$

Most likely we are asked to round to a certain place value.

I'm going to put my value for r into my calculator.

r=0.062350864

Rounding to nearest hundredths gives us r=0.06.
