Window Circumference Comparison
The question is asking how much bigger the circumference of the window sold by Company A is compared to Company B's window.
To determine this, we'll first calculate the circumferences of both windows.
For Company A:
The diameter of Company A's window is 72 in.
Circumference (C) can be found using the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter.
Using π ≈ 3.14159, the circumference of Company A's window is:
C = πd = 3.14159 × 72 ≈ 226.19448 inches
For Company B:
The radius of Company B's window is 32 in.
Circumference (C) can also be found using the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius.
C = 2πr = 2 × 3.14159 × 32 ≈ 201.06176 inches
Now, subtract the circumference of Company B's window from Company A's to find how much bigger Company A's window is:
226.19448 inches - 201.06176 inches ≈ 25.13272 inches
So the circumference of the window sold by Company A is approximately 25.13272 inches bigger than the window sold by Company B.
Checking the options given, the closest answer to the calculated value is:
A. 25.13 in.
