The answer will be A.6 inches because 4*3=12. Then, multiply 6*3=18 which is a foot and a half. Which only leaves 6 inches remaining
To solve 16x18, you may split it up into a smaller increment you understand. Like 16x2, which equals 32. (18/2 is 9) multiply 32 by 9. you get your answer 288.

Answer:
The average rate of change of f(x) = 3.14 inches⁻¹
The change in f(x) = 49.32 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of the spherical sculpture = x and its diameter f(x) = πx.
The average rate of change of f(x) as x changes is df(x)/dx = π = 3.14
Now the change in diameter Δf(x) = df(x) = (df(x)/dx)dx = πdx
dx = Δx = 28.3 in² - 12.6 in² = 15.7 in²
df(x) = π × 15.7 = 49.32 in
