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}

Answer = c

Step-by-step explanation:Since the medians are approximately the same they lost on average around the same amount regardless of exercise. Notice that the range of those with exercise is smaller though so they were more consistent in the amount of weight lost.

Answer:

Total surface area = 184.86 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

If we see the the diagram, we can find that the net of this triangular prism includes:

2 triangles each with the dimension of one side 4.3cm, second side 5.2cm and third side 6.75 cm

3 rectangles each with the dimensions of (6.75×10)cm, (5.2×10)cm and (4.3×10)cm

Surface area of triangle with a,b and c side:

s=(a+b+c)/2

Area= √s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

Area = 11.18cm²

For 2 triangle:

Area = 22.36cm²

Surface Area of Rectangles:

Area = (6.75×10)cm + (5.2×10)cm + (4.3×10)cm

Area = 162.5 cm²

Total surface area = area of 2 triangle + area of 3 rectangles:

Total surface area = 22.36 + 162.5

Total surface area = 184.86 cm²

6x2 +10x−1 discriminant
eimsori [14]

Answer:

124

Step-by-step explanation:

6 {x}^{2} +10x−1

The discriminant of a quadratic is the expression inside the radical of the quadratic formula.

{b}^{2} −4(ac)

Substitute in the values of a, b, and c.

{10}^{2} −4(6 \times (−1))

100−4(6(−1)

100−4(−6)

100 + 24

124
