Answer:

length of qt = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that qrs is a right angle triangle,

where qr = 20

          sr = ?

          qs = 25

          qt = ?

<h3>1)</h3><h3>Find sr</h3>

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

sq² = sr² + rq²

25² - 20² = sr²

sr = √25² - 20²

sr = 15

2)

When altitude rt is drawn to hypotenuse qs, it divides the triangle qrs into

two right angle triangle, rtq and rts.

Δrtq

height = rt

base= tq = 25 - x

hypotenuse = qt = 20

Δrts

height = rt

base= ts = x

hypotenuse = sr = 15

These both triangle shares same altitude that is rt

So, by using pythagorus theorem

      Δ rtq                                               Δ rts

hypotenuse² - base² = height² = hypotenuse² - base²

20² - (25 - x)² = 15² - x²

400 - (625 + x² - 50x) = 225 - x²

400 - 625 - x² + 50x = 225 - x²

-225 - x² + 50x - 225 + x² = 0

-450 + 50 x = 0

50x = 450

x = 450/50

x = 9

base of Δ rtq = tq = 25 - x

                         tq = 25 - 9

                         tq = 16

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The length of qt is </u><u>15</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

According to Pythagorean Theorem

c² = a²  + b²

c² -  a² = b²  

25² -  20² = b²  

625 - 400 = b²  

225 = b²  

Taking square root on both sides

b = 15

What is the area of the shaded segment?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

6\pi-9\sqrt{3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a pie-slice shape can be found with the equation A=\pi nr^2/360 where n is the angle of the shape and r is the radius of the circle. In this case, n=60 and r=6. Therefore, the total area of the pie-slice is \pi (60)(6^2)/360=6 \pi

Next, the triangle that makes up the unshaded part of the segment is an equilateral triangle because the angle is 60. The area of an equilateral triangle is \sqrt{3}r^2/4 where r is the length of one of its side (in this case, r=6). Plugging that in, we get an area of 9 \sqrt{3}

Finally, the area of the shaded is the area of the pie-slice minus the area of the triangle: 6\pi-9\sqrt{3
