Answer:

Option B. 212.1\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the central angle of the shaded sector

Remember that the diameter divide the circle into two equal parts ( 180 degrees each part)

so

Let

x -----> the measure of the central angle of the shaded sector

∠x+72°=180°

∠x=180°-72°=108°

step 2

Find the area of the circle

The area of the circle is

A=\pi r^{2}

we have

r=15\ cm

assume

\pi=3.1416

substitute

A=(3.1416)(15)^{2}

A=706.86\ cm^{2}

step 3

Find the area of the shaded sector

Remember that the area of the complete circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

so

by proportion find the area of a sector by a central angle of 108 degrees

\frac{706.86}{360}=\frac{x}{108}\\ \\x=706.86*108/360\\ \\x=212.1\ cm^{2}

Help me... :/<br><br> Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 45-gon.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

7740° / 45

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles is given by this formula: (n - 2) * 180°. So a regular 45-gon would have interior angles that add up to: (45 - 2) * 180°. = 43 * 180°. = 7740°. Now divide that by the 45 angles to find the measure of one interior angle

hope that helped :(
