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

Answer:

  -a^2 - a + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need to find the products of the first and last terms to determine the correct answer:

  (-a)(a) = -a^2

  (3)(4) = 12

You're looking for an expression with -1 as the leading coefficient and +12 as the constant. There is only one choice like that:

  -a^2 - a + 12

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Option C -> None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given-

2 r + ( t + r )

<em>⇒ 2 r + t + r</em>

<em>⇒ 2 r + r + t</em>

<em>⇒ 3 r + t</em>

∵ 2 r + ( t + r ) = 3 r + t.

∴ The given expression is equivalent to Option C : None of the above.
