There are 8 rows of chairs in the auditorium. Three of the rows are empty. What fraction of the rows are empty?

1 answer:

6 0

3 rows out of a total of 8 being empty means a fraction of 3/8 are empty.

This is because the denominator is the total. The total in this case is 8 rows.
The numerator is the number of these rows that are empty. In this case, this is 3 rows.

So the answer is 3/8 of the rows are empty.

Brook makes this conjecture: Because the angles are equal, the proportion of area of each sector relative to the area of the giv

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The Brooks conjecture is true as the proportion of the area of a sector to the area of a circle is only dependent on the angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a sector for a radius r and an angle θ is given as

$\Delta Sector=\dfrac{1}{2}r^2\theta$

Whereas the area of a circle for a radius r is given as

$\Delta Circle=\pi r^2$

Now the ratio is given as

$\dfrac{\Delta Sector}{\Delta Circle}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}r^2\theta}{\pi r^2}$

Here as r is the radius of the circle and it is the same therefore the above ratio is simplified to

$\dfrac{\Delta Sector}{\Delta Circle}=\dfrac{\theta}{2\pi }$

Here as π is constant the only variable here is θ. Thus according to Brooks conjecture when the angles are equal, the proportion of area of each sector relative to the area of the given circle is also equal is true.
