Answer:

21 & 1/3 pi in.^2 - 16 sqrt 3 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make a triangle with the chord by drawing two other lines. Each line should have an endpoint of the chord and the circle's center point. This, plus the segment, will give you a sector.

Next, bisect the chord in half with a line that has one point as the midpoint of the chord and the other point as the bisector of the central angle. This makes two 30-60-90 right triangles. This also means that now you can find out the radius of the circle by using the rules for 30-60-90 right triangles.  

You already know the long leg of the right triangle: 4 sqrt 3. From this, you can figure out that the short leg is 4 and the hypotenuse is 8.  

Now you can find out the area of the whole circle by using the formula for the area of a circle: A = pi * r^2 ----> A = 64 pi.  

Then, to find the area of the sector, you take 120o (o = degree sign) and divide it by 360o. So --> 120/360. You should get 1/3. Multiply 1/3 by the area of the circle (in this case 64 pi). So you would get 21 & 1/3 pi for the area of the sector.  

Now you need to find the area of the triangle. Use the formula for the area of triangles: A = 1/2 * b * h. We already know the base and height: back to the 30-60-90 right triangle ---> the short leg, or the height, is 4. The base was given: 8 sqrt 3. So, plug these numbers into the formula for triangles  ---> A = 1/2 * 8 sqrt 3 * 4  ---> A = 2 * 8 sqrt 3  ---> A = 16 sqrt 3.  

Finally, to find out the area of the segment, you would need to do the area of the sector minus the area of the triangle:

<u>21 & 1/3 pi in.^2 - 16 sqrt 3 in.^2</u>

<em>Hope this helps!  :)</em>

Check the picture below.

bear in mind that, arcs get their angle measurement, from the central angle they're in.

Answer:

  C.  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional. Sides with the same mark are the same length.

  WX/XY = LM/MN = LM/KJ

  WX/10 = 18/15

  WX = 180/15 . . . . multiply by 10

  WX = 12

If O N = 8 x − 8 , L M = 7 x + 4 , N M = x − 5 , and O L = 3 y − 6 , find the values of x and y for which LMNO must be a paralle
posledela

Answer:

x=12\\y=\frac{13}{3}


Step-by-step explanation:

For it to be a parallelogram, opposite sides have to be of same length.

  • OL = NM, and
  • ON = LM

Using the expressions given, we can make 2 equations:

<u>Equation 1:</u>

OL=NM\\3y-6=x-5\\-x+3y=1


<u>Equation 2:</u>

ON=LM\\8x-8=7x+4\\


<em>Solving equation 2, we have x:</em>

8x-8=7x+4\\8x-7x=4+8\\x=12

<em>Plugging this value of x into equation 1, we can solve for y:</em>

-x+3y=1\\-(12)+3y=1\\-12+3y=1\\3y=13\\y=\frac{13}{3}

So,

x=12\\y=\frac{13}{3}
