9/10 divided by (-3/5)

Answer: -1 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction means the same thing as multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction. In other words, we can simply change the division symbol to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So we can rewrite this problem as \frac{9}{10} x \frac{-5}{3}.

Before multiplying two fractions together, you should always try to cross cancel and notice that here we can cross cancel the 9 and 3 to 1 and 3. Also notice that we are multiplying a positive times a negative which is a negative so we know that our answer is negative.

Now we can multiply across the numerators and across the denominators to get 3 times -5 or -15 over 10 times 1 or 10.

So our answer is -15/10.

Notice that our fraction is not in lowest terms so we could have cross canceled again. That's no problem though because we can still simplify. If we divide both top and bottom of our fraction by 5, we get -3/2.

Notice that we have an improper fraction so we can write it as a mixed number by dividing the denominator into the numerator and we get -1 with a remainder of 1 so we can write this as -1 1/2. We keep the denominator the same.

So 9/10 divided by -3/5 is -1 and 1/2.

Find the area of the shaded region. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Alex
Check the picture below on the left-side.

we know the central angle of the "empty" area is 120°, however the legs coming from the center of the circle, namely the radius, are always 6, therefore the legs stemming from the 120° angle, are both 6, making that triangle an isosceles.

now, using the "inscribed angle" theorem, check the picture on the right-side, we know that the inscribed angle there, in red, is 30°, that means the intercepted arc is twice as much, thus 60°, and since arcs get their angle measurement from the central angle they're in, the central angle making up that arc is also 60°, as in the picture.

so, the shaded area is really just the area of that circle's "sector" with 60°, PLUS the area of the circle's "segment" with 120°.

\bf \textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\
A_x=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=6\\
\theta =60
\end{cases}\implies A_x=\cfrac{60\cdot \pi \cdot 6^2}{360}\implies \boxed{A_x=6\pi} \\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \textit{area of a segment of a circle}\\\\
A_y=\cfrac{r^2}{2}\left[\cfrac{\pi \theta }{180}~-~sin(\theta )  \right]
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=6\\
\theta =120
\end{cases}

\bf A_y=\cfrac{6^2}{2}\left[\cfrac{\pi\cdot 120 }{180}~-~sin(120^o )  \right]
\\\\\\
A_y=18\left[\cfrac{2\pi }{3}~-~\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right]\implies \boxed{A_y=12\pi -9\sqrt{3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{shaded area}\qquad \stackrel{A_x}{6\pi }~~+~~\stackrel{A_y}{12\pi -9\sqrt{3}}\implies 18\pi -9\sqrt{3}

If pqrs is a square solve for x what do I do?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of a square,

1). Diagonal of a square bisect the opposite angles.

2). All interior angles of a square measure 90°.

From these properties,

m∠PQR = 90°

Since, diagonal QS bisects angle PQR,

m∠PQS = m∠RQS = 45°

(6x - 21)° = 45°

6x = 45 + 21

6x = 66

x = 11
