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

The population in the current year is 31.5 million and the real GDP is $814 million. The previous year's statistics were a popul
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The change in the standard of living, measured by growth in real GDP per person, is 0.1356%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

In the current year,

Population = 31.5 million,

Real GDP = $814 million,

So, the real GDP per person = \frac{814}{31.5} ≈ 25.841

In the previous year,

Population = 31 million,

Real GDP = $800 million,

So, the real GDP per person = \frac{800}{31} ≈  25.806

Hence, change percentage = \frac{\text{Change in GDP per person}}{\text{Previous year GDP per person}}\times 100

=\frac{25.841-25.806}{25.806}\times 100

=\frac{0.035}{25.806}\times 100

=\frac{3.5}{25.806}

≈ 0.1356 %

Explain how you know 21 over 30 is greater than 2 over 3
Lisa [10]
<span>So we need to explain how we know 21/30 is greater than 2/3. Well lets expand 2/3 by multiplying the numerator and the denumerator by 10. That way we get 20 / 30. Since 21/30 has 1/30 more than 20/30 we can clearly see that 21/30 is greater than 20/30 or 2/3.</span>
