You want to build a plant stand with three equally spaced circular shelves. You want the top shelf to have a diameter of 6 inches and the bottom shelf to have a diameter of 15 inches. What is the diameter of the middle shelf?

Sagot :

[tex] \large \mathbb{SOLUTION}[/tex]

[tex] \bold{Top \: diameter \: = \: 6 \: inches}[/tex]

[tex] \bold{Bottom \: diameter \: = \: 15 \: inches}[/tex]

[tex] \underline \bold{Diameter \: of \: middle \: shelf:}[/tex]

  • [tex] \large {\frac{6 \: + \: 15}{2} \: = \: \frac{21}{2}} [/tex]

  • [tex] \large \bold{10.5 \: inches}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer in 10.5 inches.
