Answer:

Scott is wrong because he did not add the diameter that connects the arc

the fence is 41.12 feet. He would buy 42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a semicircle = πr + d

π = pi = 3.14

d = diameter = 16

r = radius = 16/2 = 8

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

( 3.14 x 8) + 16 = 41.12 feet

a pool is leaking water at a constant rate. The amount of water in the pool changes by -1 1/4 every hour. what is the total chan
malfutka [58]

The total change in the water in the pool after 2 1/2 hours given the rate of leakage is -3 1/8,

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

A fraction is a non-integer. It is made up of numerators and denominators. A mixed fraction is made up of a whole number and a proper fraction. An example is 2 1/2.

<h3>What is the total change in the water?</h3>

The total change in the water = -1 1/4 x 2 1/2

= -5/4 x 5/2 = -25/8 = -3 1/8

s there a dilation that maps shape II onto shape I? If so, what is the scale factor and is it an enlargement or a reduction?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Enlargement.

Scale Factor: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use points to find the enlargement. Typically, you will use all the points.

A(1 , 1) ⇒ A'(3 , 3)

B(2 , 1) ⇒ B'(6 , 3)

C(1 , 2) ⇒ C'(3 , 6)

D(2 , 2) ⇒ D'(6 , 6)

To find the scale factor, simply divide the Point' with the original Point. Use any number.

A'(3 , 3)/(A(1 , 1)) = 3

B'(6 , 3)/(B(2 , 1)) = 3

C'(3 , 6)/(C(1 , 2)) = 3

D'(6 , 6)/(D(2 , 2)) = 3

Your scale factor is 3.
