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

Help me it’s urgent
Ket [755]

Answer:

a_1 = -\dfrac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

a_1 \times r = a_2

a_1 \times r^2 = a_3

a_1 \times r^3 = a_4

...

a_1 \times r^8 = a_9

\dfrac{a_9}{a_4} = \dfrac{a_1 \times r^8}{a_1 \times r^3} = \dfrac{-196}{6}

r^5 = -32

r = -2

a_1 \times r^3 = a_4

a_1 \times (-2)^3 = 6

a_1 = \dfrac{6}{-8}

a_1 = -\dfrac{3}{4}
