| Algebra.Com's Answer #22895 by ilana(307)      You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of this rectangle=16+16+9+9=50cm. \n" ); document.write( "Circumference=pi*Diameter. \n" ); document.write( "We want piD+15%piD=50, so 115piD/100=50 \n" ); document.write( "115piD=5000, so 23piD=1000, so D=1000/23pi. \n" ); document.write( " |
