Write and solve a system of equations: Vanessa and Geneva worked together to buy a pair of tickets ($240 total) to the Green Day
1 answer:
Answer:
The systems of equation are .
Vanessa worked for<u> 6 hrs </u>and Geneva worked for <u>15 hrs</u> to earn exactly $240.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours worked by Vanessa be 'v'.
Let the number of hours worked by Geneva be 'g'.
Given:
Total number of hours worked = 21 hours
So we can say that;
Total number of hours worked is equal to sum of number of hours worked by Vanessa and number of hours worked by Geneva.
framing in equation form we get;
⇒ equation 1
Also given:
per hour earnings of Vanessa = $10
per hour earning of Geneva = $12
Total they need to earn = $240
So we can say that;
Total they need to earn would be equal to sum of per hour earnings of Vanessa multiplied by number of hours worked by Vanessa and per hour earning of Geneva multiplied by number of hours worked by Geneva.
framing in equation form we get;
⇒ equation 2
Hence The systems of equation are .
On Solving above equations we get;
First we will multiply equation 1 by 10 we get;
⇒ equation 3
Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2 we get;
Dividing both side by 2 we get;
Now Substituting the value of g in equation 1 we get;
Hence Vanessa worked for<u> 6 hrs </u>and Geneva worked for <u>15 hrs</u> to earn exactly $240.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
That shaded area is called a segment. To find the area of a segment within a circle, you first have to find the area of the pizza-shaped portion (called the sector), then subtract from it the area of the triangle (the sector without the shaded area forms a triangle as you can see). This difference will be the area of the segment.
The formula for the area of a sector of a circle is:
where our theta is the central angle of the circle (60 degrees) and r is the radius (the square root of 3).
Filling in:
which simplifies a bit to
which simplifies a bit further to
which of course is the same as
Now for tricky part...the area of the triangle.
We see that the central angle is 60 degrees. We also know, by the definition of a radius of a circle, that 2 of the sides of the triangle (formed by 2 radii of the circle) measure √3. If we pull that triangle out and set it to the side to work on it with the central angle at the top, we have an equilateral triangle. This is because of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem that says that if 2 sides of a triangle are congruent then the angles opposite those sides are also congruent. If the vertex angle (the angle at the top) is 60, then by the Triangle Angle-Sum theorem,
180 - 60 = 120, AND since the 2 other angles in the triangle are congruent by the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, they have to split that 120 evenly in order to be congruent. 120 / 2 = 60. This is a 60-60-60 triangle.
If we take that extracted equilateral triangle and split it straight down the middle from the vertex angle, we get a right triangle with the vertex angle half of what it was. It was 60, now it's 30. The base angles are now 90 and 60. The hypotenuse of this right triangle is the same as the radius of the circle, and the base of this right triangle is . Remember that when we split that 60-60-60 triangle down the center we split the vertex angle in half but we also split the base in half.
Using Pythagorean's Theorem we can find the height of the triangle to fill in the area formula for a triangle which is
. There are other triangle area formulas but this is the only one that gives us the correct notation of the area so it matches one of your choices.
Finding the height value using Pythagorean's Theorem:
which simplifies to
and
and
and
Taking the square root of both the 9 and the 4 (which are both perfect squares, thankfully!), we get that the height is 3/2. Now we can finally fill in the area formula for the triangle!
which simplifies to
Therefore, the area in terms of pi for that little segment is
, choice A.
