The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches. What is the circumference of the rim? Write your answer using p. Show your work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches

Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches

Area of circle = π r²  

Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r

30 = 2 * 3.14 * r

r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches

Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²

254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
