an arch of a bridge is made by bending a steel beam into the shape of a semi circle, if the span (diameter) of the arch is 20m, use the value 3.14 for π to find the length of the steel beam to the nearest meter

since C=πd for a whole circle, you have

1/2 * 20π = 10π meters

We have a semi circle, so we can conclude that the semi circle Can be represented with 1/2.The formula for the perimeter of a circle is 2πr,so for a semi circle 1/2π.Let's begin. P=1/2πr. P=1/2×22/7×20. =220/7 =31.4

This is absolutely correct

15.70

15.70 is the exact answer, but to the nearest meter, it should be rounded to 16 meters.

I am sorry, but I am not sure what you are asking for. Could you please provide more information or context about what you need help with?

P=1/2×3.14×10

Reason why it is 10 is because it is the half 20 ,and the half of a diameter is the radius so we have found are radius
=3.14×5
=15.70

Yes, that's correct. The length of the steel beam, to the nearest meter, is 15 meters, as it should be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Yes, that is correct. The radius of the semicircle is half of the diameter, which is 10 meters. Therefore, the radius is 5 meters. Using the formula for the perimeter of a semicircle, P = (1/2)πr, where r is the radius, you can calculate the perimeter of the arch to be 1/2 × 3.14 × 10 = 15.7 meters (approx).
