Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first find how many inches the candle would have burned in 1 hour.

6 in:12 hours

x: 1 hour

We can divide 12 by 12 to get 1. This means we need to divide 6 by 12 to get x

x=1/2 inches

1/2 inches:1 hour

4 inches: x hours

We divide 4 by 1/2 to get 8. 1/2*8=4. This means...

x=1 hour*8=8 hours

Work out the area of a circle whose diameter is equal to 14 cm.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Given:

The diameter of the circle = 14 cm

To find:

The area of the circle.

Solution:

We have,

Diameter of the circle = 14 cm

We know that the radius of the circle is half of its diameter. So,

$r=\dfrac{14}{2}$

$r=7\text{ cm}$

The area of a circle is:

$A=\pi r^2$

Substituting $\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}, r=7$ in the above formula, we get

$A=\dfrac{22}{7}\times (7)^2$

$A=22\times 7$

$A=154$

Therefore, the area of the circle is 154 square cm.

What is the diameter of a circle with a radius of 4.375"? 2.187" or 2.375" or 8.375" or 8.750"

AURORKA [14]

DONT CLICK ON THE LINKS! It’s 8.750 BY THE WAY the radius is half the diameter so just add the radius by itself or multiply by 2
