Please help! Area of part of a circle!!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Helga [31]3 years ago
7 0

The sector (shaded segment + triangle) makes up 1/3 of the circle (which is evident from the fact that the labeled arc measures 120° and a full circle measures 360°). The circle has radius 96 cm, so its total area is π (96 cm)² = 9216π cm². The area of the sector is then 1/3 • 9216π cm² = 3072π cm².

The triangle is isosceles since two of its legs coincide with the radius of the circle, and the angle between these sides measures 120°, same as the arc it subtends. If b is the length of the third side in the triangle, then by the law of cosines

b² = 2 • (96 cm)² - 2 (96 cm)² cos(120°)   ⇒   b = 96√3 cm

Call b the base of this triangle.

The vertex angle is 120°, so the other two angles have measure θ such that

120° + 2θ = 180°

since the interior angles of any triangle sum to 180°. Solve for θ :

2θ = 60°

θ = 30°

Draw an altitude for the triangle that connects the vertex to the base. This cuts the triangle into two smaller right triangles. Let h be the height of all these triangles. Using some trig, we find

tan(30°) = h / (b/2)   ⇒   h = 48 cm

Then the area of the triangle is

1/2 bh = 1/2 • (96√3 cm) • (48 cm) = 2304√3 cm²

and the area of the shaded segment is the difference between the area of the sector and the area of the triangle:

3072π cm² - 2304√3 cm² ≈ 5660.3 cm²

The value of y varies directly with x. If x = 5 when y = 12, what is the value of x whon y = 30?
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx, where k is a real constant.

When y = 12, x = 5.

=> (12) = (5)k, k = 2.4.

Therefore when y = 30,

x = y/k = (30)/(2.4) = 12.5.

The answer is 12.5.

Which of the following values would complete the ordered pair if the point is on the graph of f (x) = -3x + 2 ?
Scrat [10]

Answer: the y-coordinate that completes the point is 5.


Explanation:


An ordered pair (x, y) indicates the x-and-y coordinates of a general point, where x is the input value of a function and y is the output value.


The output value is y = f(x) and must be found applying the rule (function) to the given input value.


In this case the rulte is f(x) = - 3x + 2, and the input value, x,  is - 1 (the first value of the ordered pair).


This is the mathematical procedure:

  • x = - 1
  • f(x) = f (-1) = -3 (-1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5.
