Answer:

The correct answer is D) (-2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this system of equations, start by multiplying the entire first equation by 2. Then add the two equations together. This will get the y's to cancel and allow you to solve for x.

-4x + 2y = -10

3x - 2y = 12

---------------------

-x = 2

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, we can find y by plugging the x value into either equation.

-2x + y = -5

-2(2) + y = -5

-4 + y = -5

y = -1

A central angle theta in a circle of radius 7 m is subtended by an arc of length 8 m. Find the measure of theta in degrees. (Rou

gogolik [260]

Answer: In degrees , The measure of $\theta=65.5^{\circ}$

In radians , the measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for length of arc is given by :-

$l=\theta r$

, where $\theta$ = Central angle subtended by arc.

r= radius of the circle.

As per given , we have

Radius of circle : r=7 m

Length of arc : l= 8 m

Substitute these values in the above formula , we get

$8=\theta (7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$

Hence, the measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}$ .

To convert it into degrees we multiply it with $\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$

The measure of $\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\times\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}$

$=(\dfrac{8\times180}{7\times3.14})^{\circ}=65.5141037307^{\circ}$

$\approx65.5^{\circ}$

Hence, the measure of $\theta=65.5^{\circ}$

In a circle with an 8-inch radius, a central angle has a measure of 60°. How long is the segment joining the endpoints of the ar

g100num [7]

Given the radius, circumference can be solved by the equation, C = 2πr. The circumference of the circle above is C = 2π(8 in) = 16<span>π in. To solve for the length of the segment joining the arc is the circumference times the ratio of central angle and 360 degrees.

Length of the segment = (16</span>π in)(60/360) = 8/3 <span>π in

Thus, the length of the segment is approximately 8.36 in. </span>
