Which pipe configuration can deliver more water to
residents, one 8-cm pipe or two 4-cm pipes? show your
work and explain your reasoning.
4 cm
8 cm
4 cm

One 8-cm pipe (Its is greater than the total area of of two 4-cm pipes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle can be calculate with this formula:

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

We need to calculate the area of 8-cm pipe. In this case:

Then, substituting the radius into the formula, we get:

Now we must calculate the area of the two 4-cm pipes.

Since they are two pipes, the formula is:

In this case:

Then, substituting into the formula, we get:

Therefore, since the area of one 8-cm pipe is greater than the total area of of two 4-cm pipes, we conclude that the pipe configuration that can deliver more water to residents is:

One 8-cm pipe
