Help this is due tomorrow please! Carter has 88 feet of fencing to enclose a dog pen in his yard. He is trying to decide whether

to make the pen circular or square. Assuming he uses all of the fencing, what is the difference between the area of the circular pen and the square pen? ​

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The circle makes the larger area

The difference in the two areas is roughly 132.2479 square feet.

=================================================

Explanation:

If Carter decides to go for a circle, then 88 is the circumference, which is the distance around the circle (aka perimeter of the circle).

Use this to find the radius needed

C = 2*pi*r

r = C/(2pi)

r = 88/(2pi)

r = 44/pi

I'll leave it in exact form rather than approximate it.

Once we know the radius, we can find the area of the circle.

A = pi*r^2

A = pi(44/pi)^2

A = pi*(1936/(pi^2))

A = 1936/pi

A = 616.247939651819 approximately

I used my calculator's stored version of pi to compute the area in the final step.

We'll be comparing this number later, so hold onto it for now.

-------------------------------------

If Carter instead decides for a square, then 88 is the perimeter since it's the amount of fencing he has to work with.

Divide it into 4 pieces to find the length of each side of the square (all sides are equal in a square)

88/4 = 22

Each side is 22 feet

The area of this square is (22)^2 = 22*22 = 484 square feet

--------------------------------------

Summary:

  • If Carter goes for a circular enclosure, then he gets roughly 616.2479 square feet.
  • The square enclosure only gets him exactly 484 square feet.

The circle wins in terms of larger area.

The difference being roughly 616.2479  - 484 = 132.2479 square feet.

PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLY!!!!

For each, you'll use the slope formula 
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

For function f, you'll use the two points (1,6) and (2,12) since x ranges from x = 1 to x = 2 for function f

The slope through these two points is 
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (12-6)/(2-1)
m = 6/1
m = 6

-------------------------------------------

For function g, you'll use (2,4) and (3,20)

The slope through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (20-4)/(3-2)
m = 16/1
m = 16

-------------------------------------------

For function h, you'll use (0,-6) and (2,-18). The y coordinates can be found by plugging in x = 0 and x = 2 respectively into h(x)

The slope through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-18-(-6))/(2-0)
m = (-18+6)/(2-0)
m = (-12)/(2)
m = -6

-------------------------------------------

The order from left to right is: h, f, g

How are the expressions 8-15 and 8-(-15)?how are they different?
zmey [24]

8 - 15 means subtract the positive number 15 from 8.

8 - 15 = 8 + (-15) = -7

8 - (-15) means subtract the negative number -15 from 8.

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.

8 - (-15) = 8 + 15 = 23

8 - 15 = -7, and 8 - (-15) = 23. The expressions mean different operations and have different answers.
