Answer: C. Parabola
Definition: a parabola is a conic section in which it is mostly characterised of having a U-shape wherein it is symmetrical and an open plane curve.
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a circle (all 360°) is
pi×r²
with r being the radius.
the area of a circle segment is just the corresponding fraction of the whole circle.
so the area of a segment of x degrees is
pi×r² × x/360
in our case we know
pi×42240² × x/360 = 180 mi²
we also know that there are 5280 ft in 1 mile.
so, the radius is actually
42240 / 5280 = 8 miles
and therefore our equation resulting in mi² has to use miles and not ft and has to look that way :
pi×8² × x/360 = 180 mi²
pi×64 × x/360 = 180
pi×64 × x = 180×360
pi×x = 180×360/64 = 1012.5
x = 1012.5/pi = 322.2887598...°
so, the angle of the segment of a circle with the area of 180 mi² and the radius of 8 mi is 322.2887598...°
Answer:
AC = 3.72 units
Angles:
A = 132.6°
C = 27.4°
Step-by-step explanation:
AC² = 5² + 8² - 2(5)(8)cos(20)
AC² = 13.82459034
AC = 3.718143399
3.718143399/sin20 = 8/sinA
sinA = 0.7358944647
A = 180 - 47.38285134
A = 132.6171487
3.718143399/sin20 = 5/sinC
sinC = 0.4599340405
C = 27.38285134
