<span>x+y=30.....(1) and x-y=2......(2) so(1)+(2)......x+y+x-y=30+2 so 2x=32...x=16 now apply x=16 in (1) so we get......16+y=30 so .......y=14</span>
Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches
Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches
Area of circle = π r²
Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²
Circumference of a circle = 2 π r
30 = 2 * 3.14 * r
r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches
Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²
254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²
Answer:
3/4 divided by 2 1/2 is 0.3
