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: Third option

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

1. By definition, the Associative property of addition states that it does not matter how you grouped the numbers, you will always obtained the same sum.

2. The rule for the  Associative property of addition is the following (given three numbers "a", "b" and "c"):

a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

Knowing the information shown before, you can identify in the picture attached that the option that illustrates the Associative property of addition is the third one. This is:

(11+8)+1=11+(8+1)

As you can notice that you will always get the same result:

(19)+1=11+(9)\\\\20=20

Butoxors [25]

z+(-0.72)=-2.5\\\\\text{Step 1}:\ x+(-0.72)+(-0.72)=-2.5+(-0.72)\qquad\text{ERROR}\\\\CORRECT\ IS:\ x+(-0.72)-(-0.72)=-2.5-(-0.72)\\\\\text{Step 2}:\ x=-2.5+0.72\\\\\text{Step 3}:\ x=-1.78


Subtract, not add, -0.72 from both sides.

60*20% are red
60*30% are orange
60*30% are green
60*20% are blue = 12 * 20% = 2.4 blue candy chocolates that are damaged
