7a. Find the PERIMETER of the figure. 6 mm
2 mm
2 mm
a) 14.42 mm
b) 19.42 mm
c) 24.84 mm
d) 13.84 mm

The Perimeter figure is: 21.42 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure consists of two parts:

1) Semicircle

2) Square

Determining the Perimeter of the Semicircle:

Given

Diameter d = 6 mm

Radius r = d/2 = 6/2 = 3 mm

In a semi-circle, the perimeter is made up of half the circumference (arc) of the circle and the diameter of the circle.

Perimeter = 1/2 × ( circumference of the circle ) + d

                = 1/2 × (2πr) + d

                = πr + d

                = 3.14(3) + 6

                = 9.42 + 6

                = 15.42 mm

Thus, the Perimeter of the semi-circle is: 15.42 mm

Determining the Perimeter of the Square:

Given

Length of a side = a = 2mm

Perimeter of square = 4a = 4(2) = 8mm

Thus, the Perimeter of the Square is: 8mm

Now, in order to determine the Perimeter of a complete figure, we need to add the Perimeter of the square and the perimeter of the semicircle and subtract 2 mm.

The reason why we need to subtract 2mm because one side of the square (2mm) is overlapped along the diameter of the semicircle.

Now,

Figure Perimeter = Perimeter of square + Perimeter of Semicircle -  2

                             = 8 + 15.42 - 2

                             = 21.42 mm

Therefore, the Perimeter figure is: 21.42 mm

Note: It seems you may have missed adding the correct choice there.

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
