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

Answer:

4). The Washington Monument is 169.2-m tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

4). We know this because...

person     1.8       0.7

----------  = -----  = -------

Wash.        x       65.8

We then know to cross-multiply to get:  

1.8(65.8) = 0.7x

Which simplifies down to:

118.44 = 0.7x

x = 169.2

Answer:

5). The pond is 180ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

5). We know this because...

90       120

-----  = -------

135        x

We then know to cross-multiply to get:

90x = 120(135)

Which simplifies down to:

90x = 16200

x = 180

Answer:

6). The height of the clock tower is 13ft 9in.

Step-by-step explanation:

6). We know this because...

person       5.5         4

----------  =  --------  = -----

clock            x          10

We then know to cross-multiply to get:

5.5(10) = 4x

Which simplifies down to:

55 = 4x

x = 13.75 (13 ft 9 in)

What are the domain and range of f(x) = 2|x -4|? <br> plz i'm in need
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Domain: (-∞, ∞)

Range: [0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain represents what x can be. In this scenario, we do not have x as a denominator, and there is nothing limiting x, so its domain is (-∞, ∞)

The range represents what f(x) can be, Because |x-4| is in absolute value, the lowest |x-4| can be is 0, and as a result, the lowest value of 2|x-4| is 2*0=0. The maximum value of f(x) is ∞ as an absolute value does not limit the maximum, making the range [0, ∞)
