Liliana is making a vase with a circular base. She wants the area of the base to be between 135 cm2 and 155 cm2.

Which circle could represent the base of the vase? Use 3.14 for pie.

Respuesta :

we know that

Area of a circle is equal to

[tex] A=\pi r^{2} [/tex]

where

r is the radius of the circle

Step [tex] 1 [/tex]

Find the radius of the circle for an area equal to [tex] 135cm^{2} [/tex]

[tex] 135=\pi r^{2} \\\\ r= \sqrt{\frac{135}{3.14}} \\ \\ r=6.56 cm [/tex]

Step [tex] 2 [/tex]

Find the radius of the circle for an area equal to [tex] 155cm^{2} [/tex]

[tex] 155=\pi r^{2} \\\\ r= \sqrt{\frac{155}{3.14}} \\ \\ r=7.03 cm [/tex]

[tex] 6.56\ cm \leq r \leq 7.03\ cm [/tex]

One solution for this problem could be

[tex] r=7\ cms [/tex]

because

[tex] 6.56\ cm \leq 7\ cm \leq 7.03\ cm [/tex]

and

[tex] A=\pi *7^{2} =153.86cm^{2} [/tex]

[tex] 135\ cm^{2} \leq 153.86\ cm^{2} \leq 155\ cm^{2} [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

The radius of the circle must be

[tex] 6.56\ cm \leq r \leq 7.03\ cm [/tex]

We will see that she can use any circle with a radius that is a solution of the inequality:

6.6 cm < R < 7 cm

How to find the possible values of the radius?

We know that the area of a circle of radius R is given by:

  • A = pi*R^2
  • where pi = 3.14

So we want to have an area between 135 cm^2 and 155cm2, so we have:

135 cm^2 < A < 155 cm^2

135 cm^2 < 3.14*R^2  < 155 cm^2

Now we can solve that inequality for R, first we divide the 3 parts by 3.14

(135 cm^2)/3.14 < R^2 < (155cm^2)/3.14

43 cm^2 < R^2 < 49.4 cm^2

Now we take the square root to get:

√(43 cm^2 ) < R < √(49.4 cm^2 )

6.6 cm < R < 7 cm

Then any circle with a radius between 6.6cm and 7cm can be used.
