Answer:

$68,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to determine the total economic costs of going to college = ($40,000 x 2) + ($30,000 x 2) = $140,000

since we want to recover our "college investment" in 5 years or less, then we must earn at least $140,000 / 5 = $28,000 more per year

the minimum salary that we should earn after graduating = $40,000 (our current salary) + $28,000 (to recover college costs) = $68,000

A square with sides of 3 squareroot 2 is inscribed in a circle. what is the area of one of the sectors formed by the radii to th
mrs_skeptik [129]
Drawing this square and then drawing in the four radii from the center of the cirble to each of the vertices of the square results in the construction of four triangular areas whose hypotenuse is 3 sqrt(2).  Draw this to verify this statement.  Note that the height of each such triangular area is (3 sqrt(2))/2.

So now we have the base and height of one of the triangular sections.

The area of a triangle is A = (1/2) (base) (height).  Subst. the values discussed above,   A = (1/2) (3 sqrt(2) ) (3/2) sqrt(2).  Show that this boils down to A = 9/2.

You could also use the fact that the area of a square is (length of one side)^2, and then take (1/4) of this area to obtain the area of ONE triangular section.   Doing the problem this way, we get (1/4) (3 sqrt(2) )^2.  Thus, 
A = (1/4) (9 * 2) = (9/2).  Same answer as before.
