The book will drop first because it is heavier, but the feather is lighter.

The area of the sector formed by the 110 degree central angle is 50 units squared. What is the circumference of the circle

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The circumference of the circle is $C=45.346 \:units$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A sector is the part of a circle enclosed by two radii of a circle and their intercepted arc. A pie-shaped part of a circle.

The area of a circle is given by $A_{circle}=\pi r^2$

The formula used to calculate the area of a sector of a circle is:

$A_{sector}=\frac{central \:angle}{360} \cdot {Area \:of \:whole \:circle}\\\\A_{sector}=\frac{\theta}{360} \cdot \pi r^2$

The circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside of the circle and its given by

$C=2\pi r$

We know the central angle $\theta$ = 110º and the area of the sector 50 units squared.

First, we use the formula to calculate the area of a sector to find the radius.

$50=\frac{110}{360} \cdot \pi r^2\\\\\frac{110}{360}\pi r^2=50\\\\\frac{11\pi }{36}r^2=50\\\\11\pi r^2=1800\\\\r^2=\frac{1800}{11\pi }\\\\\mathrm{For\:}x^2=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt{f\left(a\right)},\:\:-\sqrt{f\left(a\right)}\\\\r=\sqrt{\frac{1800}{11\pi }},\:r=-\sqrt{\frac{1800}{11\pi }}$

The radius can't be negative. Therefore,

$r=\sqrt{\frac{1800}{11\pi }}\approx 7.217 \:units$

Next, we apply the formula for the circumference of a circle.

$C=2\pi (7.217)=45.346 \:units$

Solve Systems of Equations Algebracallyy=x+2 y=-3x

Sphinxa [80]

y = x + 2

y = -3x

Do y = -3x in y = x + 2

y = x + 2

-3x = x + 2

-3x - x = 2

-4x = 2

x = -2/4

x = -1/2

Now put x = -1/2 in y = -3x

y = -3x

y = -3.(-1/2)

y = 3/2

A spherical balloon has a 34-in. diameter when it is fully inflated. Half of the air is let out of the balloon. Assume that the

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

a. 20,579.52 cubic inches

b.10,289.76 cubic inches.

c. 13.49 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of a sphere:

Volume of a sphere: 4/3 π r³

Since diameter (d) = 2 radius (r)

Replacing with the value given:

34 =2r

34/2=r

r= 17 in

Back with the volume formula:

V = 4/3 π r³

V =4/3 π (17)³

V = 20,579.52 cubic inches

The volume of the half-inflated balloon is equal to the volume of the sphere divided by 2.

20,579.52/2 = 10,289.76 cubic inches.

To find the radius of the half-inflated balloon we have to apply again the volume formula and substitute v=10,289.76

10,289.76= 4/3 π r³

Solving for r

10,289.76/ (4/3 π)= r³

2,456.5 = r³

∛2,456.5 = r

r = 13.49 inches

An item is priced at $80. It is on sale for 20% off the regular price. What is the sale price?

Masja [62]

Regular Pirce = $80.

Discount = 20%

Discount = 20% x $80 = 0.2 x 80 = $16

Sale Price = 80 - 16 = $64

----------------------------------------------------
Answer: The Sale Price is $64.
