Answer:

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.  

Explanation:

  Let a be the capacity of old tank and b be the capacity of new tank.

 A company added a new oil tank that holds 350 barrels of oil more than its old oil tank.

So we have    b - a  = 350 ----------------------equation 1

Together they hold 3650 barrels of oil

                        a + b = 3650 ----------------------equation 2

equation 1 + equation 2

                       2b = 3650 + 350 = 4000

                          b = 2000 barrels.

Substituting in equation 1

                  2000 - a = 350

                            a = 1650 barrels.

Capacity of old tank =  1650 barrels.    

Capacity of new tank =  2000 barrels.

What is the area of the sector? Either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.143.143, point, 14 for \piπpi and enter

Question:

What is the area of the sector? Either enter an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 and enter your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the values of radius and central angle are not given.

However, I'll answer the question using the attached figure.

From the attached figure, the radius is 3 unit and the central angle is 120 degrees

The area of a sector is calculated as thus;

Area = \frac{\alpha }{360} * \pi r^2

Where \alpha represents the central angle and r represents the radius

By substituting \alpha = 120 and r = 3

Area = \frac{\alpha }{360} * \pi r^2 becomes

Area = \frac{120}{360} * \pi * 3^2

Area = \frac{1}{3} * \pi * 9

Area = \pi * 3

Area = 3\pi square units

Solving further to leave answer as a decimal; we have to substitute 3.14 for \pi

So, Area = 3\pi becomes

Area = 3 * 3.14

Area = 9.42 square units

Hence, the area of the sector in the attached figure is 3\pi or 9.42 square units
