An architect increases the radius of a circle window by 20 percent. By what percent did the area of the circle window increase?

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

For a circle of radius R, the area is written as:

A = pi*R^2

Where pi = 3.14

If we increase the radius by 20%, the new radius will be:

R´ = R + 0.20*R = 1.20*R

The new area will be:

A´ = pi*(1.20*R)^2 = (1.20)^2*pi*R^2

   = 1.44*pi*R^2

And pi*R^2 = A, the original area, then_

A´ = 1.44*A = A + 0.44*A

This means that the percentage in which the area increased is:

0.44*100% = 44%

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
