Answer 1

Answer:

Farming and ranching Edit

Prairie Homestead, Milepost 213 on I-29, South Dakota (May 2010).

The very dense soil plagued the first European settlers who were using wooden plows, which were more suitable for loose forest soil. On the prairie, the plows bounced around, and the soil stuck to them. This problem was solved in 1837 by an Illinois blacksmith named John Deere who developed a steel moldboard plow that was stronger and cut the roots, making the fertile soils ready for farming.

The tallgrass prairie has been converted into one of the most intensive crop producing areas in North America. Less than one tenth of one percent (<0.09%) of the original landcover of the tallgrass prairie biome remains.[14] States formerly with landcover in native tallgrass prairie such as Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Missouri have become valued for their highly productive soils and are included in the Corn Belt. As an example of this land use intensity, Illinois and Iowa rank 49th and 50th, out of 50 US states, in total uncultivated land remaining.[citation needed]

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct Question -

The circumference of two circle are in the ratio 2 : 3. Find the ratio of their areas.

Given -

Ratio of their circumference = 2:3

To find -

Ratio of their areas.

Formula used -

Circumference of circle

Area of circle.

Solution -

In the question, we are provided, with the ratios of the circumference of 2 circles, and we need to find the ratio of area of those circle, for that first we will use the formula of circumference of a circle, then we will use the formula of area of circles. We will be writing 1 equation in it too.

So -

Let the circumference of 2 circles be c1 and c2

According to question -

c1 : c2

Circumference of circle = 2πr

where -

π = $\tt\dfrac{22}{7}$

r = radius

On substituting the values -

c1 : c2 = 2 : 3

2πr1 : 2πr2 = 2 : 3

$\tt\dfrac{2\pi\:r\:1}{2\pi\:r\:2}$ = $\tt\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\tt\dfrac{r1}{r2}$ = $\tt\dfrac{2}{3}$$\longrightarrow$ [Equation 1]

Now -

Let the areas of both the circles be A1 and A2

Area of circle = πr²

So -

Area of both circles = πr1² : πr2²

On substituting the values -

A1 : A2 = πr1² : πr2²

$\tt\dfrac{A1}{A2}$ = $\tt\dfrac{(\pi\:r1)}{(\pi\:r2)}^{2}$

$\tt\dfrac{A1}{A2}$ = $\tt\dfrac{(r1)}{(r2)}^{2}$

$\tt\dfrac{A1}{A2}$ = $\tt\dfrac{(2)}{(3)}^{2}$ [From equation 1]

So -

$\tt\dfrac{A1}{A2}$ = $\tt\dfrac{4}{9}$

$\therefore$ The ratio of their areas is 4 : 9
