Well that's quite easy. There is a short cut. So 12 divided by 2 is 4. Then 6 divided by 2 is 3. There is a thing called a Pythagorean Triple. And the first one is 3,4 (which is the missing side) and 5. That is the most commonly used set and so are the number's multiples. Therefore the missing leg's length is 4 centimeters.

Stells [14]

Answer:

a = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

In the given triangle,

NE and ML are the perpendicular bisectors of two sides of the triangle.

Therefore, m∠MEK = m∠MLK = 90°

Since, sum of interior angles of polygon KLME = 360°

m∠MEK + m∠MLK + m∠EML + m∠EKL = 360°

90° + 90° + 120° + a = 360°

a = 360° - 300°

a = 60°

What is the area of the partial circle with a radius of 8 cm? Use 3. 14 for pi.

Olegator [25]

Radius=r=8cm

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Area=\pi r^2$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Area=\pi 8^2$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Area=64\pi$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Area=64(3.14)$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Area=200.96cm^2$
