Answer:

Area of cross-section is 9\pi in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a cone and a plane parallel to base intersect the cone at the mid point of points between A and B.

We have to find the area of cross-section formed by intersection of the plane and the cone which is a new circle formed.

Given,   height=20 in

             radius=6 in

By mid point theorem i.e the line segment formed by joining the mid points of two side of triangle is parallel to third equal to half of the third side.

therefore new circle formed is of radius 3 in

Hence, area of cross-section formed by intersection of the plane and the cone which is a new circle formed= \pir^{2}

                                                        = 3^{2}\pi

                                                        = 9\piin^{2}

Given that point of intersection is at halft ot the heigth, by similarity of triangles, the radius is halft of 6 in, i.e 3 in.

The the area is Pi*r^2 = Pi*(3in)^2 = Pi*9 in^2 = 9Piin^2

This is option C)

the insurance company pays the forecast of 3900 prescriptions claims out of 4500 prescription claims submitted what is the rate
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

x=0.87  or   86.67%

13 prescription claims out of 15 are paid

Step-by-step explanation:

First we organize the data:

prescription claims submitted: 4500

Prescriptions: 3900

The rate of claims paid is calculated using the following formula:

x =\frac{Paid}{Total}

We know that:

Paid = 3900

Total = 4500

So

x =\frac{3900}{4500}

x =\frac{39}{45}

x =\frac{13}{15}

x=0.87
