Answer:

22.3838476568 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find the area of sector (yellow). The formula is 75/360 x π x 3².

this is equal to 5.89048622548. Now the total circle area is 3²xπ = 28.2743338823. 28.2743338823 - 5.89048622548 = 22.3838476568 in²

Tom [10]

Answer:

First, find 20% of the 200 books. Then, subtract that amount by the total and divide that amount by 20 to receive your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 x 200

/100  = 40

Therefore, there are 40 books missing.

200-40 = 160

160/20 = 8 shelves are filled with books.

There are 10 shelves in total: 160 books are on 8 shelves and 40 books are missing for 2 shelves
