So i'm really confused how do you get 3 5/12 in this question? Manson bought 8 1/4 feet of wire. He cut off a piece of wire 3 5/12 feet long and used it for his science project. How much wire did Manson have left? please help ASAP!

Answer:

r = π C , C = 12 − x , t h e n r = π ( 12 − x ) = 12 π − π x

Step-by-step explanation:

So cutting the wire of 12 m in length into two pieces, x and 12-x. The x side will be made into the square so that the square has sides x/4 and an area of (x/4)^2. This means the length of the wire 12-x will be the circumference of the circle. So if: r = π C , C = 12 − x , t h e n r = π ( 12 − x ) = 12 π − π x i hope this is correct
