https://hcbe.owschools.com/media/g_mat07_ccss_2016/9/img_composite_figure_5.gif What does the perimeter of this figure consist of? one semicircle and two line segments one semicircle and one line segment two semicircles and one line segment two semicircles and two line segments

jimthompson5910:

What are your thoughts on it?

narutouzamaki2:

idk

jimthompson5910:

If we erase the curved left and right edges, we end up with this |dw:1613079023676:dw|

jimthompson5910:

adding in those curved portions back in gets us this |dw:1613079067057:dw|

jimthompson5910:

Though we won't consider these shaded portions |dw:1613079146101:dw| since they are not on the exterior when we add on the curved portions

jimthompson5910:

The perimeter only deals with the exterior sides

narutouzamaki2:

so will we be usind base and hight

jimthompson5910:

we have these two straight segment portions |dw:1613079322746:dw|

jimthompson5910:

and these two curved portions |dw:1613079357587:dw|

narutouzamaki2:

so is the 12 the base and the 4 the hight

jimthompson5910:

for the rectangle, yes

narutouzamaki2:

and were going for perimiter right

jimthompson5910:

yes the outer edges

narutouzamaki2:

ok so would there be another side

jimthompson5910:

Another side?

narutouzamaki2:

im srry im just confused because every things happening to my family

jimthompson5910:

The original figure is composed of two straight line segments along the top and bottom, and curved pieces on either side So that's why the answer is `two semicircles and two line segments` We do not consider the vertical dashed segments because they are not on the outside portion

narutouzamaki2:

ok

narutouzamaki2:

alright and i have one more thing

jimthompson5910:

Whats that

narutouzamaki2:

ok so we will be using the same picture ok

narutouzamaki2:

What is the total perimeter of this figure? 24.56 ft 36.56 ft 30.28 ft 24.28 ft

jimthompson5910:

The two curved portions can be combined together to form a full circle. Do you agree?

narutouzamaki2:

yes i agree

jimthompson5910:

What is the circumference of the circle?

narutouzamaki2:

ummmm

narutouzamaki2:

thats a big word

narutouzamaki2:

idk

jimthompson5910:

The perimeter around the circle

jimthompson5910:

circumference = perimeter around the circle

narutouzamaki2:

idk

jimthompson5910:

You'll use the formula C = pi*d where, C = circumference d = diameter

narutouzamaki2:

how could there be a perimeter around a circle

narutouzamaki2:

when its round

jimthompson5910:

imagine you wrapped a string around the circle, or used a cloth tape measure. That's what we're measuring here

narutouzamaki2:

ok so if we used the measuring tape we would go off inches right

jimthompson5910:

in this case, we're using feet

narutouzamaki2:

ok

jimthompson5910:

So what we do is use this formula C = pi*d we can use pi = 3.14 d = 4

jimthompson5910:

So C = pi*d C = 3.14*4 C = 12.56 Thats the distance around the circle, measured in feet. This is approximate.

narutouzamaki2:

wait when i look back on the picture the is 2 right angles https://hcbe.owschools.com/media/g_mat07_ccss_2016/9/img_composite_figure_5.gif

jimthompson5910:

That isn't the final answer. You'll need to add on the straight line portions

jimthompson5910:

don't worry about the angles

narutouzamaki2:

ok

jimthompson5910:

how long are the straight line portions?

narutouzamaki2:

so how would u even get the tottle perimeter

jimthompson5910:

The straight line portions are 12 ft each, agreed?

narutouzamaki2:

yes

narutouzamaki2:

and the sides will be 4 ft right

jimthompson5910:

We would add two copies of 12 onto the 12.56 we found earlier 12.56+12+12 = 36.56 The final answer is 36.56 feet This is the distance around the entire track Imagine we had a string roughly 36.56 ft long. We can glue the string down to the track so that it fits the exact shape shown.

narutouzamaki2:

0k

narutouzamaki2:

ok so what if we did the same way but on this shape though https://hcbe.owschools.com/media/g_mat07_ccss_2016/9/img_composite_figure_7.gif

jimthompson5910:

It's the same idea. The only difference is that the bottom curved portion is caved in, instead of popping out.

narutouzamaki2:

If the radius of one of the semicircles is 7 meters, what is the perimeter of the figure? 47.98 m 36.99 m 69.96 m 56.96 m and heres answers

jimthompson5910:

radius = 7 leads to diameter = 14 you double the radius to get the diameter

jimthompson5910:

Now use the formula C = pi*d pi = 3.14 d = 14 C = ???

narutouzamaki2:

so will we be multiply ing it

jimthompson5910:

yes

jimthompson5910:

3.14 times 14 = ??

narutouzamaki2:

ok the answer is 43.96

jimthompson5910:

Thats just the curved portions. Don't forget about the straight portions

narutouzamaki2:

or did i get it wrong

jimthompson5910:

you'll need to add on two copies of 13

narutouzamaki2:

so it would be 26

jimthompson5910:

yeah add on 26

narutouzamaki2:

so u add those to it right

narutouzamaki2:

so if u add it it would be 69.96

jimthompson5910:

69.96 is the answer, yes

narutouzamaki2:

ok

narutouzamaki2:

so back to the skate bord one

narutouzamaki2:

What is the circumference of one of the semicircles in this figure? 6.28 ft 12.56 ft 25.12 ft 50.24 ft

jimthompson5910:

12.56 was the distance around the full circle but we want just half of that this is because semicircle = half circle

narutouzamaki2:

so we divide it right

jimthompson5910:

yes divide by 2

narutouzamaki2:

e cut it in half

narutouzamaki2:

we

narutouzamaki2:

and when we divide it we get 6.28 right

jimthompson5910:

yes 6.28

narutouzamaki2:

so back to the other one

narutouzamaki2:

If the radius of one of the semicircles is 7 meters, what is the circumference of one of the semicircles? 21.98 m 10.99 m 43.96 m 87.92 m

jimthompson5910:

Tell me your thoughts on it

narutouzamaki2:

so were talking about this one

1 attachment
narutouzamaki2:

so and theres only one circle

narutouzamaki2:

u can make

jimthompson5910:

how would you find the distance around the full circle?

jimthompson5910:

circle with radius 7

narutouzamaki2:

by perimeter right

jimthompson5910:

do you agree you use C = pi*d ?

narutouzamaki2:

u measure around the circle

narutouzamaki2:

explane the formula u are useing

jimthompson5910:

we multiply pi with the diameter

jimthompson5910:

pi = 3.14 approximately

narutouzamaki2:

so we times it by 7

jimthompson5910:

7 is the radius, not the diameter

jimthompson5910:

double the radius to get the diameter

narutouzamaki2:

so the radiuse is 14

jimthompson5910:

diameter = 14

jimthompson5910:

C = pi*d C = 3.14*14 C = ??

narutouzamaki2:

so we mutiply them both and u get 43.96

jimthompson5910:

thats the distance around the full circle, but we only want half of that

jimthompson5910:

since we want the semicircle distance

narutouzamaki2:

so we divide it by 2

jimthompson5910:

yes

narutouzamaki2:

and that would be 21.98

jimthompson5910:

correct

narutouzamaki2:

and thats the answer

narutouzamaki2:

now the new shape comes in

narutouzamaki2:

If the diameter of the semicircle is 1.7 centimeters, what is the circumference of the semicircle? 5.338 cm 10.676 cm 2.669 cm 1.3345 cm

1 attachment
jimthompson5910:

how long is the diagonal piece? the dashed line

jimthompson5910:

hint: pythagorean theorem

narutouzamaki2:

so we have have a circle and a right angle

jimthompson5910:

for now, let's ignore the curved part

jimthompson5910:

|dw:1613082101035:dw|

narutouzamaki2:

so if we take the half the circle out we get a triangle

jimthompson5910:

what is the value of x in that diagram?

narutouzamaki2:

ig 24

narutouzamaki2:

or is it same thing 12

jimthompson5910:

no, you'll need the pythagorean theorem

narutouzamaki2:

whats that

jimthompson5910:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 12^2 + 12^2 = x^2 x = ??

narutouzamaki2:

im lostwhats that

narutouzamaki2:

im in 7 not 12

narutouzamaki2:

theres noway i can do that

jimthompson5910:

has your teacher talked about the pythagorean theorem at all?

narutouzamaki2:

no

jimthompson5910:

it seems strange to ask a question you haven't covered yet. I would bring it up with the teacher

narutouzamaki2:

ook

narutouzamaki2:

well can u help me figure it out in a simple way

jimthompson5910:

I'll try to think of a different approach

narutouzamaki2:

there has to be a short cut to get the answer

narutouzamaki2:

right

narutouzamaki2:

theres has to be

narutouzamaki2:

u there

narutouzamaki2:

ig not

jimthompson5910:

Sorry I was looking for a shortcut, but I'm not seeing any so far

jimthompson5910:

Are you able to contact your teacher?

narutouzamaki2:

shes not replying i can skip that question the rest are not 12 grade stuff so

jimthompson5910:

alright

narutouzamaki2:

What is the total perimeter of this figure? Express your answer in feet. 64.26 ft 49.26 ft 76.26 ft 104.52 ft

1 attachment
jimthompson5910:

Whats the distance around the curved portion?

narutouzamaki2:

what are u talking about

jimthompson5910:

In the diagram you posted

narutouzamaki2:

yeah

jimthompson5910:

whats the perimeter of the semicircle?

narutouzamaki2:

if im not mistaking the cutting line is 6 yds right

jimthompson5910:

yes the dashed line is 6 yards long

jimthompson5910:

consider a full circle with diameter 6 whats the distance around the full circle? what's half that distance?

narutouzamaki2:

ok so what will be the perimeter of the semi circle

jimthompson5910:

use C = pi*d

jimthompson5910:

that will get you the full circle perimeter

jimthompson5910:

then of course you cut that in half

narutouzamaki2:

and how do i use that formula

jimthompson5910:

multiply pi and the diameter

narutouzamaki2:

so the diameter is

narutouzamaki2:

6 right

jimthompson5910:

yes

narutouzamaki2:

ok so u double it right

narutouzamaki2:

and itwould be 12

jimthompson5910:

6 is the diameter, we dont need to double it

narutouzamaki2:

oh ok

jimthompson5910:

its only if we have the radius and we want to find the diameter, is when we double

narutouzamaki2:

so now we need to figure what the other number is

narutouzamaki2:

soo we have 6

jimthompson5910:

pi = 3.14

narutouzamaki2:

so we times it or divide it

jimthompson5910:

C = pi*d C = 3.14*6 C = ??

narutouzamaki2:

so if we times it the answer will be 18.84 right

jimthompson5910:

yes, now we cut that in half because we only want the semicircle (not full circle) distance

narutouzamaki2:

so we divide it by 2

jimthompson5910:

yes

narutouzamaki2:

and itwould be 9.42

jimthompson5910:

correct, now add that onto the straight line portions of the diagram

jimthompson5910:

ignore the dashed line

narutouzamaki2:

so we add 15 plus 9.42 am i right

jimthompson5910:

wait

narutouzamaki2:

what

jimthompson5910:

we'll need to convert 15 ft to yards first

jimthompson5910:

we can't add two different units without conversion

narutouzamaki2:

so how do we do that

jimthompson5910:

1 yard = 3 ft 5 yards = 15 ft (multiply both sides by 5) So 15 ft is the same as 5 yards

jimthompson5910:

so the vertical portions are 5 yards each

jimthompson5910:

now you can add up the straight line portions to the curved portion found earlier

narutouzamaki2:

so it would be 5 yards right

jimthompson5910:

yeah you'll have 2 copies of 5 yards

jimthompson5910:

for the two vertical sides

narutouzamaki2:

so we mutiply it by 2

narutouzamaki2:

and it would be 25 yards

jimthompson5910:

we add up the four sides 5+5+6+9.42 = 25.42 This is the total perimeter in yards Multiply by 3 to convert to feet 25.42*3 = 76.26 The final answer is 76.26 ft

narutouzamaki2:

wow i feel like im getting smarter by this one question

narutouzamaki2:

now back to the 12 grade one

narutouzamaki2:

What does the perimeter of this figure consist of? one semicircle and one line segment one semicircle and two line segments one semicircle and three line segments two semicircles and two line segments

narutouzamaki2:

1 attachment
jimthompson5910:

`one semicircle and two line segments` The semicircle part is the curved portion The two segments are the vertical and horizontal straight pieces

narutouzamaki2:

now for the one we were just on What does the perimeter of this figure consist of? one semicircle and four line segments one semicircle and two line segments one semicircle and three line segments one semicircle and one line segment

1 attachment
jimthompson5910:

Your thoughts?

jimthompson5910:

hint: ignore the dashed line

narutouzamaki2:

ik its i semi circle and three line segments right

narutouzamaki2:

what do u think

jimthompson5910:

correct

narutouzamaki2:

What is the circumference of the semicircle in this figure? Express your answer in feet. 18.84 ft 6.28 ft 56.52 ft 28.26 ft

1 attachment
narutouzamaki2:

now ik it would be 18.84 what do u think

narutouzamaki2:

am i correct

jimthompson5910:

remember 18.84 was the full distance around this circle, but we only want half of it

narutouzamaki2:

oh ok ig im wrong i was a little to Oreosy

narutouzamaki2:

coky

narutouzamaki2:

ik i spelled it wrong

narutouzamaki2:

back to question

narutouzamaki2:

so we divide it by 2

jimthompson5910:

yes

narutouzamaki2:

and we will get 9.42 am i right

jimthompson5910:

correct

narutouzamaki2:

so now what

jimthompson5910:

9.42 is the answer

jimthompson5910:

wait, I keep forgetting to convert

jimthompson5910:

multiply by 3 to convert from yards to feet

narutouzamaki2:

it cant be cause its not one of the answers on the thing

jimthompson5910:

9.42*3 = ??

narutouzamaki2:

it would be 28.26

narutouzamaki2:

now thats the answer

narutouzamaki2:

wow i got 76

narutouzamaki2:

thx alot

narutouzamaki2:

i hope u can be my teacher again some day

jimthompson5910:
