Algebra.Com's Answer #324249 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! i don't come up with any of those answers either. \n" ); document.write( "i have no idea what they had in mind when they presented this problem. \n" ); document.write( "if you go by a simple area of the apple that is exposed versus area of the apple that is bruised, then the answer would be: \n" ); document.write( "1/124.6898124. \n" ); document.write( "that would be 1 square inch of the bruise divided by the total area of the apple. \n" ); document.write( "that total area is calculated by the formula 4*pi*r^2. \n" ); document.write( "since the diameter of the apple is 6.3, then the radius is 3.15, and the formula becomes 4*pi*3.15^2 which equals 124.6898124 square inches. \n" ); document.write( "1/124.6898124 = .008019901 which is equal to .8019901% which rounds to .80%. \n" ); document.write( "quite frankly, i don't understand how you are supposed to come up with an answer to this question. \n" ); document.write( "sorry i couldn't help you on this. \n" ); document.write( "perhaps you might feel better because somebody else doesn't understand it either?\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
