Answer:
(B) 9π in²
Step-by-step explanation:
I’m going to assume that by 6 inches you meant 6π inches.
If the circumference of a circle is 6π inches, then it’s radius will be half of 6 (because the circumference of a circle is 
).
So the radius is 3.
Now that we know the radius, we can find the area by using the equation 
.
Hope this helped!
In a full rotation, 360°, a point on the edge of a gear would travel a distance equal to its circumference. The circumference of a circle is:
C=2πr, and since we are only traveling 150°, we need to set up an appropriate ratio for circumference to the distance the point travels:
d/C=150/360
d=5C/12 and since C=2πr
d=10πr/12
d=5πr/12, and since r=4in
d=5*4π/12 in
d=20π/12 in
d=5π/3 in
d≈5.24 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)
150. Divide 5000 by 100 and you get 50. Multiply 3 by 50 and you get 150.
The answer to this problem is one because nine times one equals nine which the answer is still nine
