Answer:
It is given that
A map of a highway has a scale of 2 inches equals 33 miles. The length of the highway on the map is 6 inches. There are 11 rest stops equally spaced on the highway, including one at each end. You are making a new map with a scale of 1 inch equals 30 miles
So,
The actual length of the highway according to the scale of 2 in = 33 miles is:
The actual length of the highway = (Scale factor) × (The length of the highway on the map)
= \(\frac{33}{2}\) × 6
= 33 ×3
= 99 miles
The actual length of the highway according to the scale of 1 in = 30 miles is:
The actual length of the highway = (Scale factor) × (The length of the highway on the map)
= \(\frac{30}{1}\) × 6
= 30 ×6
= 180 miles
Now,
Let the number of stops on the highway with a scale of 1 in = 30 miles be x
So,
\(\frac{99}{11}\) = \(\frac{180}{x}\)
\(\frac{180}{x}\) = 9
x = \(\frac{180}{9}\)
x = 20 stops
Now,
The distance between the rest stops = \(\frac{30}{20}\)
= 1.5 feet
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The distance between the rest stops on the new map are 1.5 feet

Construct Arguments Why does the sum of all four angle measures stay the same when one of the skis moves?
Answer:
From the given figure,
We can observe that the intersecting skies form 4 angles
Now,
We know that,
The sum of the adjacent angles’ angle measures is 180°
The angle measures of the vertical angles are the same
So,
∠1 + ∠2 = 180° and ∠3 + ∠4 = 180°
∠1 = ∠3 and ∠2 = ∠4
So,
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 360°
So,
Even when we change one angle measure, the remaining angle measures will adjust their angle measures accordingly so that the sum of all the four angles remain the same i.e, 360°
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the sum of all four angle measures stay the same even when one of the skis moves

Now,
From the above,
We can observe that the crater is in the form of a circle
Now,
We know that,
The distance around the circle is: Circumference
Now,
We know that,
The circumference of a circle (C) = πd
So,
9,687 = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × d
d = \(\frac{9,687 × 7}{22}\)
d = 3,082.2 feet
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the diameter of the crater for the given circumference of a crater is: 3,082.2 feet

Envision Math Common Core 7th Grade Answers Topic 8 Solve Problems Involving Geometry 60
Answer:
It is given that
The circumference of the inner circle is 44 feet. The distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is 3 feet
Now,
We know that,
The circumference of inner circle (c) = 2πr
So,
For inner circle:
44 = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r
r = \(\frac{44 × 7}{22 × 2}\)
r = 7 feet
For outer circle:
The circumference of the outer circle (C) = 2π(R – r)
Where,
R is the radius of the outer circle
r is the radius of the inner circle
So,
C = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × (7 + 3)
C = 62.85 feet
So,
C – c = 62.85 – 44
= 18.85 feet
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the circumference of the outer circle is 18.85 feet greater than the circumference of the inner circle

Question 14.

\(\frac{C}{r}\) = 6.28
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the ratio of the radius to the circumference of any circle is: 6.28

Question 15.
What is the radius of a circle with a circumference of 26.69 centimeters?
Answer:
The given data is:
The circumference of a circle (C) = 26.69 cm
Now,
We know that,
The circumference of a circle (C) = 2πr
So,
26.69 = 2 × 3.14 × r
r = \(\frac{26.69}{6.28}\)
r = 4.25 cm
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the radius of the circle with the given circumference is: 4.25 cm

Envision Math Common Core 7th Grade Answers Topic 8 Solve Problems Involving Geometry 61
Answer:
It is given that
A unicycle wheel makes five rotations. The unicycle travels 37.94 feet
Now,
We know that,
The number of revolutions (or) rotations = \(\frac{The speed of the unicycle}{The circumference of the unicycle wheel}\)
So,
The circumference of the unicycle wheel = \(\frac{The speed of the unicycle}{The number of rotations}\)
3.14 × d = \(\frac{37.94}{5}\)
3.14 × d = 7.58
d = \(\frac{7.58}{3.14}\)
d = 2.41 feet
d = 2.41 × 12
d = 29 inches
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the diameter of the wheel in inches is: 29 inches

Now,
The circumference of the wheel (C) = 4 × 117.75
= 471 feet
Now,
We know that,
The circumference of a circle (C) = 2πr
So,
471 = 2 × 3.14 × r
r = \(\frac{471}{6.28}\)
r = 75 feet
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the radius of the Ferris wheel is: 75 feet

Answer:
It is given that
The diagram shows a track composed of a rectangle with a semicircle on each end. The area of the rectangle is 7,200 square meters.
Now,
The given figure is:
Envision Math Common Core 7th Grade Answers Topic 8 Solve Problems Involving Geometry 63
Now,
We know that,
The area of the rectangle (A) = Length × Width
So,
7,200 = 120 × Width
Width = \(\frac{7,200}{120}\)
Width = 60 m
So,
The radius of the semicircle (r) = \(\frac{Width of the rectangle}{2}\)
r = \(\frac{60}{2}\)
r = 30 m
Now,
We know that,
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Width)
The perimeter of a semicircle = r (π + 2)
Now,
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (120 + 60)
= 2 (180)
= 360 m
The perimeter of a semicircle = 30 (3.14 + 2)
= 154.2 m
So,
The perimeter of the track = The perimeter of a rectangle + 2 (The perimeter of a semicircle)
= 360 + 2 (154.2)
= 668.4 m
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the perimeter of the given track is: 668.4 m

Answer:
It is given that
Pierce draws a circle with a radius of 3 centimeters. Gianna draws a circle with a radius that is twice as long as the radius of Pierce’s circle
So,
The radius of Pierce’s circle is: 3 cm
So,
The radius of Gianna’s circle = 2 × (Radius of Pierce’s circle)
= 2 × 3
= 6 cm
Now,
The circumference of Pierce’s circle (C) = 2πr
= 2 × π × 3
= 6π cm
Now,
The circumference of Gianna’s circle (C) = 2πr
= 2 × π × 6
= 12π cm
Now,
Let the number of times Gianna’s circumference is a number of times as Pierce’s circumference be x
So,
x × 6π = 12π

Envision Math Common Core 7th Grade Answers Topic 8 Solve Problems Involving Geometry 65
Now,
From the given figure,
We can observe that
The 8 parts of the circle made 4 parallelograms
So,
The relationship between the circles and parallelograms is:
The number of parallelograms = \(\frac{The number of parts of the circle}{2}\)
So,
For 100 pieces of the circle,
The number of parallelograms = \(\frac{100}{2}\)
= 50
For 1,000 pieces of the circle,
The number of parallelograms = \(\frac{1,000}{2}\)
= 500
Hence,
For 100 pieces of the circle,
The area of the parallelogram (A) = Base × Height [Since base = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × Circumference]
= 50r units²
For 1,000 pieces of the circle,

The circumference of a circle is 50.24 meters. What is the area of the circle? Use 3.14 for π.
Answer:
It is given that
The circumference of a circle is 50.24 meters
Now,
We know that,
The circumference of a circle (C) = 2πr
So,
50.24 = 2 × 3.14 × r
r = \(\frac{50.24}{6.28}\)
r = 8 meters
Now,
We know that,
The area of a circle (A) = πr²

Answer:
It is given that
A circular flower bed is 20 meters in diameter and has a circular sidewalk around it that is 3 meters wide.
Now,
The area of the sidewalk is given as:
A = The area of a flower bed – The area of a sidewalk including the flower bed
Now,
We know that,
Radius (r) = \(\frac{Diameter}{2}\)
r = \(\frac{20}{2}\)
r = 10 meters
Now,
The area of a flower bed (A) = πr²
So,
A = 3.14 × 10²
= 314 meters²
Now,
The area of a sidewalk including the flower bed (A) = 3.14 × (10 + 3)²
= 530.66 meters²
So,
The area of the sidewalk = 530.66 – 314
= 216.66 meters²
Hence, from the above,

16.3 = 2 × 3.14 × r
r = \(\frac{16.3}{6.28}\)
r = 2.59 inches
Now,
We know that,
The area of the circular plate (A) = πr²
So,
A = 3.14 × (2.59)²
= 21.06
≈21 inches²
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the area of the circular plate for the given circumference is: 21 inches²

Answer:
It is given that
A water sprinkler sends water out in a circular pattern and the area formed by the watering pattern is 379.94 square feet
Now,
We have to find the diameter to find how many feet away from the sprinkler can spread the water
Now,
We know that,
The area of a circle (A) = πr²
So,
379.94 = 3.14 × r²
r² = \(\frac{379.94}{3.14}\)
r² = 121
r = 11 feet
So,
Diameter (d) = 2 × Radius
d = 2 × 11
d = 22 feet
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the sprinkler can spread the water 22 feet away

r = 3.94 m
Now,
The area of the circular rug (A) = πr²
So,
A = 3.14 × (3.94)²
= 48.7 m²
Hence, from the above,

The diameter of the semi circle = 40 m
Now,
We know that,
The area of a square (A) = Side²
So,
A = 40²
= 1,600 m²
Now,
We know that,
The area of a semicircle (A) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)πr²
So,
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 3.14 × \(\frac{1,600}{4}\)
= 628 m²
So,
The area enclosed bythe given figure (A) = 1,600 + 628
= 2,228 m²
Hence, from the above,

PART A
She places a rug with a radius of 2 feet in her room. How much of her bedroom floor, in square feet, is not covered by the rug? Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
It is given that
Julia’s bedroom is 10 feet by 10 feet. She wants to place a circular rug in the corner of her room.
So,
The diameter of the circular rug placed by Julia is: 10 feet
Now,
We know that,
Radius (r) = \(\frac{Diameter}{2}\)
r = \(\frac{10}{2}\)
r = 5 feet
So,
The space of bedroom floor that is not covered by the rug (C) = The space of the bedroom floor that is covered by the rug when the radius is 5 meters – The space of the bedroom floor that is covered by the rug when the radius is 2 meters
So,
C = 2π (5 – 2)
= 2 × 3.14 × 3
= 18.84 feet
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the space of bedroom floor that is not covered by the rug to the neares tenth is: 18.8 feet

PART B
Julia decides she wants a rug that covers about 50% of her floor. Which rug should she buy?
A. A rug with a radius of 5 feet
B. A rug with a diameter of 5 feet
C. A rug with a radius of 4 feet
D. A rug with a diameter of 4 feet
Answer:
It is given that Julia’s bedroom is 10 feet by 10 feet
So,
The diameter of the circular rug is: 10 feet
Now,
The rug covers the whole bedroom floor when the diameter is 10 feet
So,
When Julia decides to cover the bedroom floor only 50% with the rug,
Then, we have to find only the radius of the circular rug i.e., \(\frac{10}{2}\)
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that option A matches the given situation

Answer:
It is given that
The circumference of a hubcap of a tire is 81.58 centimeters.
Now,
We know that,
The circumference of a circle (C) = 2πr
So,
81.58 = 2 × 3.14 × r
r = \(\frac{81.58}{6.28}\)
r = 12.99 cm
Now,
The area of a circle (A) = πr²
So,
A = 3.14 × (12.99)²
= 529.8 cm²
≈ 530 cm²
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the area of the circular hubcap is about 530 cm²

Now,
From the given figure,
We can observe that
The shape of the ream is: Rectangle
Now,
We know that,
Even we cut a ream of paper, each sheet of paper has the same dimensions as a ream of paper
So,
The dimensions of each sheet of paper after Mrs. Mendoza divided the ream into 2 equal parts are:
Length: 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) inches
Width: 11 inches
Now,
The number of sheets of paper each class will get after dividing the ream = \(\frac{500}{2}\)
= 250 sheets
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that
The number of sheets each class will receive is: 250
The dimensions of each sheet of paper once Mrs. Mendoza divided the ream is:
Length: 8\(\frac{1}{2}\) inches
Width: 11 inches

Focus on math practices

If Mrs. Mendoza started with 300 sheets of paper, then
The number of sheets divided by Mrs. Mendoza equally between the two classes = \(\frac{300}{2}\)
= 150
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the number of sheets each class receives when Mrs. Mendoza started with 300 sheets is: 150

Envision Math Common Core Grade 7 Answer Key Topic 8 Solve Problems Involving Geometry 98
Now,
From the given figure,
We can observe that
The total area of the barn (A) = The area of the front + The area of the back
= 2 (The area of the front) (or) 2 (The area of the back)
Now,
The front side of the barn is made up of a rectangle and a triangle
Now,
The area of the front side of the barn = The area of the rectangle + The area of the triangle
= Length × Width + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × Base × Height
= 11 × 12 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 12 × (15 – 11)
= 132 + 24
= 156 ft²
So,
The total area of the barn (A) = 2 × 156
= 312 ft²
Now,
The number of cans of paint does Hiromi need to cover the entire front and back of the barn = \(\frac{The total area of the barn}{The number of square feet each can covers}\)
= \(\frac{312}{32}\)
= 9.75

Lesson 8.1 Solve Problems involving Scale Drawings

Quick Review
In a scale drawing, the scale is a ratio that relates each drawing length to the actual length it represents. To find unknown lengths, you can use the scale to write a proportion.

Example
A blueprint of a room is drawn to a scale of 2 inches = 7 feet. The actual length of one wall is 56 feet. What is the length of this wall on the blueprint?
Answer:
Use the scale to write a proportion.
\(\frac{2 \text { in. }}{7 \mathrm{ft}}=\frac{x \text { in. }}{56 \mathrm{ft}}\)
56 feet = 7 feet x 8, so multiply 2 inches by 8
x = 2 inches x 8 = 16 inches

So,
113.04 = 3.14 × r²
r² = \(\frac{113.04}{3.14}\)
r² = 36
r = 6 cm
Now,
We know that,
Diameter (d) = 2 × Radius (r)
So,
d = 2 × 6
d = 12 cm
Hence, from the above,

Circumference (C) = 2πr
So,
88 = 2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r
r = \(\frac{7 × 88}{2 × 22}\)
r = 14 yards
Now,
We know that,
Area of a circle (A) = πr²
So,
The area of the circular park (A) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 14²
= 616 yards²
Hence, from the above,
We can conclude that the area of the given circular park is: 616 yards²
