5. A metal ornament is being designed such that its perimeter is created by four identical three-quarter circles
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) 12π in
(b) 53.5 in
(c) 96 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the ornament is shown
(a) four three-quarter circles is equivalent to 4*3/4 = 3 circles. The perimeter of a circle is the total length of the circular portions.
Perimeter of each circle: 2*π*r
The radius is 2 in long, then for 3 circles:
Perimeter = 3*2*π*2 = 12π in
(b) Perimeter of square: 4*side length
The side length of the square is 4 in, then:
Total length of wire needed = 4*4 + 12π = 53.5 in
(c) The wire weighs 1.8 grams per inch, then:
total weight of the ornament = 1.8 grams/in * 53.5 in = 96 grams
