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:

1\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer, you first need to convert the mixed number (2 1/3) into a improper fraction and then multiply.

\frac{3}{4} \times2\frac{1}{3}

2\frac{1}{3} =3\times2=6+1=7=\frac{7}{3}

\frac{3}{4} \times\frac{7}{3}

3\times7=21

4\times3=12

=\frac{21}{12} =\frac{7}{4} =1\frac{3}{4}

=1\frac{3}{4}

Hope this helps.

he data set gives the number of hours it took each of the 10 students in a cooking class to master a particular technique. {5, 3
sergeinik [125]

The best measure of center tendency for this set of data would be the median. It is the best measurement because the data set has an outlier. The outlier is the 30. So to find the median we first order the data set and then find out if the set is an even or odd set. This set is even so we just chose the middle number. If the set was even, we would add the two center number and divide them by 2.

3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 30

The center tendency = 4
