A farmer plants crops on 48 acres of land. The circle graph shows the percentages of land used for some of the different types of crops. Based on the circle graph, how many acres of land are used for corn?

14.4acres

Step-by-step explanation:

The total acres is 48 acres, which is 100%

when you add percentage of others, wheat and cotton you get 70%.

which leaves you with 30%

therefore, 30% of the land is for corn..

which is 14.4 acres.

0.30 x 48acres= 14.4 acres

hope this helped:)

14.4 acres. 30% of 48 is 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 48 is 14.4.

I had the same question on a test.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
