Instructions: find the marked angle in the triangle diagrams and explain how you figured it out.
1 answer:
Answer: 84 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
this triangle is an isosceles triangle meaning two sides are of equal length ( the two sides in this case being the ones marked with the two lines // and // ) and that also means the triangle will have two equal angles (48 and 48) how do we know that? The triangle looks like this essentially: (see image below) where angle a = to angle b
a triangles angles added up always =180 degrees
Since we proved angle a is equal to angle b, we should be able to also subtract them from 180 to find angle c. 48+48=96
and simply subtract 96 from 180 to get 84 degrees.
therefore the angle is 84 degrees

Let be the area of the sector in the larger circle (radius 12 cm) whose central angle is subtended by the labeled arc with measure 45 deg, and let
be the area of the sector in the smaller circle (radius 8 cm) with the same central angle. The area you want is

We have
So the area of the shaded region is .
