Answer:

12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of rectangle = 5.6 cm

Width of rectangle = 2.1 cm

Area of rectangle = Length of rectangle×Width of rectangle

⇒Area of rectangle = 5.6×2.1

⇒Area of rectangle = 11.76 cm²

11.76 has 4 significant figures in order to write this term in 2 significant terms we round of the term

The last digit in the decimal place is 6. Now, 6≥5 so we round the next digit to 8 we get

11.8

Now the last digit in the decimal place is 8. Now, 8≥5 so we round the next digit to 2 we get

12

∴ Hence the area of the rectangle when rounded to 2 significant figures is 12 cm²

Y1 = 725

Y2 = 579

Y3 = 696

Y4 = ?

Y1 + Y2 + Y3 = 100%

725 + 579 + 696 = 2000

10% of 2000 = 2000 x .10 = 200

2% of 2000 = 2000 x .02 = 40

112% = 2000 + 200 + 40 = 2240

The answer is Y4 = 2240.

In this circle we have major arc RQ which is the really big one measuring 40x, and we have minor arc RQ, which is what we are looking for.  Minor arc RQ is double the measure of the angle that intercepts it.  That means that minor arc RQ is 2(12x-12), which is 24x - 24.  The measure of the outside of any circle will always and forever be 360 degrees;  therefore, 40x + 24x - 24 = 360.  Combining like terms gives us 64x = 384 and x = 6.  Now sub in that 6 for the x in the angle 12x - 12 to get that that angle measures 12(6)-12 = 60.  Again, the angle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts, so minor arc RQ is 120 degrees, third choice down.
