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>

Check the picture below.

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

In any circle of radius R, how many arcs with lengths R fit into the circumference?
xenn [34]

<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>

If we take the radius of a circle be <u>R</u>. Then, we can define that,

$ R = x $

Hence,

Arcs will be as $ 4x $. As,

A circle can be divided into four parts according to the radius.

Hence, we know that,

x \times 4

\mapsto \: 4x

  • Hence, <em>according to the radius R</em>, a circle can have <u>4 arcs</u>.

You can use the pythagoras theorem.

20^2=5^2+x^2

x^2=400-25
x^2=375

x = 19.36

20-19.36=0.64 feet

The answer is 0.64 feet :)

Solve 2m-3-5= -m+10 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER
Vlad [161]
Solve for m:
2 m - 5 - 3 = 10 - m

Subtract like terms. -3 - 5 = -8:
2 m - 8 = 10 - m

Add m to both sides:
2 m + m - 8 = (m - m) + 10

m - m = 0:
2 m + m - 8 = 10

2 m + m = 3 m:
3 m - 8 = 10

Add 8 to both sides:
3 m + (8 - 8) = 8 + 10

8 - 8 = 0:
3 m = 10 + 8

10 + 8 = 18:
3 m = 18

Divide both sides of 3 m = 18 by 3:
(3 m)/3 = 18/3

3/3 = 1:
m = 18/3

The gcd of 18 and 3 is 3, so 18/3 = (3×6)/(3×1) = 3/3×6 = 6:
Answer:  m = 6
