Answer:

The area of the triangle is 48 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is a triangle formed when to legs come together to make a 90° angle.  The 'legs' of the triangle can also be called referred to the base and the height of the triangle.  The general formula for the area of a triangle is:  

A = \frac{1}{2}b*h, where b = base and h = height

In this case, the leg measures are given as 8 inches and 12 inches, so we can put these values into our formula to solve for area:  

A = \frac{1}{2}(8)(12) = 48

The measure of central angle xyz is radians. What is the area of the shaded sector? 32 85 96 256.
statuscvo [17]

If the measure of central angle is 3π /4 radians, then the area off the shaded sector is 96π square units

The radius of the circle = 16 units

The central angle of the shaded region = 3π /4 radians

The area of the sector = (θ/ 360) × πr^2

Where θ is the central angle of the sector

r is the radius of the sector

Substitute the values in the equation

The area of the sector = ((3π /4) /360) × π × 16^2

Convert the radians to the degrees

= (135/360) × 256π

Multiply the terms

= 96π square units

Hence, the area of the shaded sector is  96π square units

The complete question is

Please answer ASAP and if you do you will get Brainliest. Catherine buys a gallon of ice cream from the store. After taking it h
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

  • Original amount: 1 gallon.
  • What Catherine ate: \displaystyle \frac{1}{5} gallons.
  • What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be x gallons.
  • What's left: \displaystyle \frac{2}{3} gallons.

Consider the relationship:

\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}.

That is:

\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}.

Add x to both sides of this equation:

\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x

Substract \displaystyle \frac{2}{3} from both sides:

\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x.

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to 3 \times 5 = 15

\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x.

\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}.

In other words, Catherine's sister ate \displaystyle \frac{2}{15} gallons of the ice cream.
