The radius of a circle is 6 inches. What is the area of a sector bounded by a 90° arc?

Answer:

[1] Let's make the problem easier to start. Imagine that they had said to find the area of a sector bounded by a 360* arc (the whole circle). Could we have found the area then? 

Sure we could! We know that A = pi*r^2, so that would just be:

A = pi*(6)^2 = 36*pi sq. miles.

Easy. But of course, we weren't so lucky... they want 135*... drat!

[2] Well, let's get a little closer, could we find the area if the angle was 180*? Sure! That's just half the circle. After all:

180*/360* = 1/2.

We know the whole circle is 36*pi sq. miles. So, the area bounded by a 180* arc would just be half of this: 18*pi sq. miles. 

"But that's not the question," you scream!! Alright, alright, calm down... let's bring it all together.

[3] We know the area of the whole circle [1]. We also know that if we can figure out the fraction of the circle the problem is easy [2]. So, what fraction of a circle would match an arc of 135*?

Well, we can see that

135*/360* = 0.375    or    3/8

So the area is just 0.375 of the whole circle:

0.375* 36*pi sq. miles = 13.5*pi sq. miles

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

144 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Look on s(t) like quadratic function. We need to find maximum of the function using 1st diferetioal:

s(t)=-16t^2+64t+80

s’(t)=-32t+64

S’(t)=0 if t=2

For t>2, s’(t)<0

For t<2, s’(t)>0. So the maximum od function is in the point 2.

S(2)=-16*4+64*2+80=-64+128+80=144
