7. the bottom of a circular swimming pool
with a diameter of 36 feet is painted blue.
how many square feet are blue?

The answer is:

1017.88 square feet are blue.

To calculate how many square feet are blue, we need to calculate the area of the bottom of the circular swimming pool.

We need to remember that we can calculate the area of any circle using the following formula:

Now, we know that the diameter of the bottom is equal to 36 feet, so, we can calculate the radius of the bottom using the following formula:

So,

Then, calculating the area we have:

Hence, we have that 1017.88 square feet are blue.

Have a nice day!

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
