To organize the flow of vehicles in traffic, engineers and designers often use roundabouts instead of traffic lights, a solution that can be more efficient in many cases. In a roundabout, the segment that connects the middle of the lane at two ends is 100 m. A driver completing a lap will travel

data: use straight pi=3.

a) 100 m.

b) 150 m.

c) 300 m.

d) 200 m.

Answer explained

The segment that connects the middle of the lane at two ends is the diameter of the roundabout.

To calculate the length of the roundabout, we use:

line C equals 2. straight pi. straight r

Where,

C is the length,

r is the radius

Since the diameter is equal to twice the radius, we have:

straight line D equals 2 straight straight r equals straight D over 2 straight r equals 100 over 2 equals 50

So the length will be:

line C equals 2. straight pi. straight straight C equal to 2.3.50 straight C equal to 300 straight space m

In a complete turn, the driver will travel 300 meters.

A brake disc is a circular piece of metal that forms part of a vehicle's braking system. It has the function of delaying or stopping the rotation of the wheels.

brake disc

To manufacture a batch of 500 brake discs with a diameter of 20 cm and an empty central area to attach the hub wheel, 12 cm in diameter, a manufacturer will use, in square meters, a total of sheet metal of about in:

data: use straight pi equals 3 point 1.

a) 1 m.

b) 10 m.

c) 100 meters

d) 1000

Answer explained

We can calculate the larger area and the smaller the central one.

The area of ​​a circle is calculated by:

straight A equals πr squared

larger area

Since the diameter is 20 cm, the radius is 10 cm. In meters, 0.1 m.

straight A equals straight pi.0 comma 1 squared straight A equals 0 comma 01 straight pi straight space m

central area

straight A equals straight pi.0 point 06 squared straight A equals 0 point 0036 straight pi

Disk area = larger area - smaller area

disk area = 0 point 01 straight pi minus 0 point 0036 straight pi equals 0 point 0064 straight pi

How are 500 disks:

500 space. space 0 comma 0064 straight pi equals 3 comma 2 straight pi

replacing straight pi by the value of 3.14 informed in the statement:

An amusement park is building a Ferris wheel 22 meters in diameter. A steel frame in the shape of a circle is being built to secure the seats. If each seat is 2 m away from the next and considering straight pi = 3, the maximum number of people who can play this toy at once is

a) 33.

b) 44.

c) 55.

d) 66.

Answer explained

First we must calculate the length of the circle.

line C equals 2. straight pi. straight line C equals 2.3.11 straight C equals 66 straight space m

Since the seats are spaced 2 m apart, we have:

66 / 2 = 33 seats

A bicycle is equipped with 26-inch wheels, measured in diameter. The distance traveled in meters after ten complete turns of the wheels is

1 inch = 2.54 cm

a) 6.60 m

b) 19.81 m

c) 33.02 m

d) 78.04 m

Answer explained

To calculate a complete turn in inches, we do:

In centimeters:

C = 78. 2.54 = 198.12 cm

In meters:

C = 1.9812 m

in ten laps

19.81 m

A club is building a circular kiosk 10 m in diameter to serve customers arriving from all directions. The ducts and plumbing have already been installed, now a 5 cm thick concrete base will be built. How many cubic meters of concrete will be needed to fill this area?

consider straight pi equals 3 point 14.

a) 3.10 m³

b) 4.30 m³

c) 7.85 m³

d) 12.26 m³

Answer explained

Calculating how many cubic meters will be needed, is to calculate the volume of the base.

To calculate the volume, we determine the area and multiply it by the height, in this case 10 cm.

straight A equals straight pi. straight r squared straight A equals straight pi.5 squared straight A equals 25 straight pi

Multiplying by the height of 10 cm or 0.1 m:

straight V equals 2 point 5 straight pi

replacing straight pi by 3.14:

straight V approximately equals 7 point 85 straight space m cubed

The figure represents a circle λ with center C. Points A and B belong to the circle of λ and point P belongs to. It is known that PC = PA = k and that PB = 5, in units of length.

The area of ​​λ, in units of area, is equal to

a) π(25 - k²)

b) π(k² + 5k)

c) π(k² + 5)

d) π(5k² + k)

e) π(5k² + 5)

Answer explained

Data

  • CA = CB = radius
  • PC = AP = k
  • PB = 5

Goal: calculate the circular area.

The circular area is πr squared, where the radius is the segment CA or CB.

Since the answers are in terms of k, we must write the radius in terms of k.

Resolution

We can identify two isosceles triangles.

Since PC = PA, the triangle CAP increment is isosceles, and the base angles straight A with superscript logical conjunction It is recto C with superscript logical conjunction, they are the same.

Since CA = CB, the triangle CBA increment is isosceles, and the base angles straight A with superscript logical conjunction It is line B with superscript logical conjunction, they are the same.

Thus, the two triangles are similar due to the AA (angle-angle) case.

Writing the proportion between the ratios of two similar sides, PAC space increment approximately equals CBA increment, we have:

CB over AB equals PA over ACnumerator straight r over straight denominator k plus 5 end of fraction equals straight k over straight r straight r. right parenthesis r equals right k left parenthesis right k plus 5 right parenthesis r squared equals right k squared space plus space 5 right k

Since we want the circular area:

πr squaredbold pi bold left parenthesis bold k to the power of bold 2 bold plus bold 5 bold k bold right parenthesis

(UNICAMP-2021) The figure below shows three circles tangent two by two and the three tangents to the same straight line. The radii of the larger circles have length R and the smaller circle has a radius of length r.

(Enem) Consider that the blocks of a neighborhood have been drawn in the Cartesian system, the origin being the intersection of the two busiest streets in that neighborhood. In this drawing, the streets have their widths disregarded and all the blocks are squares with the same area and the measure of its side is the system unit.

Below is a representation of this situation, in which points A, B, C and D represent commercial establishments in that neighborhood.

Suppose that a community radio, with a weak signal, guarantees a coverage area for every establishment located at a point whose coordinates satisfy the inequality: x² + y² – 2x – 4y - 31 ≤ 0

In order to evaluate the quality of the signal, and provide a future improvement, the technical assistance of the radio carried out an inspection to know which establishments were within the coverage area, as these can hear the radio while the others no.

a) A and C.

b) B and C.

c) B and D.

d) A, B and C.

e) B, C and D.

Answer explained

The circumference equation is:

straight x squared plus straight y squared minus 2 ax minus 2 by plus straight a squared plus straight b squared minus straight r squared equals 0

The problem equation is:

straight x squared plus straight y squared minus 2 straight x minus 4 straight y minus 31 less than or equal to 0

The center of a circle is the point C(a, b). To determine the coordinates, we equate the coefficients of like terms.

For terms in x:

minus 2 straight a equals minus 2 straight a equals numerator minus 2 over denominator minus 2 end of fraction equals 1

For terms in y:

minus 2 straight b equals minus 4 straight b equals numerator minus 4 over denominator minus 2 end of fraction equals 2

The center of the circle is the point C(1, 2)

To find the radius we equate the free terms of x and y:

straight a squared plus straight b squared minus rector r squared less than or equal to minus 311 squared plus 2 squared minus rector r squared squared less than or equal to negative 311 plus 4 minus right r squared less than or equal to negative 315 minus right r squared less than or equal to negative 315 plus 31 less than or equal to right r squared36 less than or equal to right r squared square root of 36 less than or equal to right r6 less than or equal to straight r

The radio signal will serve establishments in the area of ​​the circumference with center C(1, 2) and radius less than or equal to 6. Marking the drawing on the plane:
