central angle of a sector is 72° and the sector has an area of 16.2(pie) ft^2. what is the radius of the circle?

1 answer:

6 0

Sector area = (central angle / 360) * PI * radius^2
sector area = (72 / 360) * PI * radius^2
radius^2 = sector area / [(72 / 360) * PI]
radius^2 = 16.2 * PI / [(1 / 5) * PI]
radius^2 = 16.2 / .2
radius^2 = 81
radius = 9

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

-9, -8

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+1)=7+3(x+1)

x+x+1=7+3(x+1)

2x+1=7+3(x+1)

2x+1=7+3x+3

2x+1=3x+10

2x+1-1=3x+10-1

2x-3x=3x-3x+9

-1x/-1=9/-1

x=-9/-8

Hannah made a ramp for her grandfather who was in a wheelchair. The ramp was 10 ft long and it was 5 ft away from the porch step

lianna [129]

Given :

Length of ramp( Hypotenuse ), l = 10 ft .

Length of base, b = 5 ft .

To Find :

How high were the porch steps.

Solution :

Let, height is h.

By Pythagoras theorem :

$b^2+h^2=l^2\\\\h=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\\\\h=\sqrt{10^2-5^2}\\\\h = \sqrt{75}\\\\h = 5\sqrt{3}\ ft$

Hence, this is the required solution.
