Answer:

20.2 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A sector of a circle is just a piece of the circle, like a piece of a pie.

A sector of a circle that has a central angle of 145 degrees would look like the attached photo.

So to find the area of this sector, you would need to find a fraction, or a part, of the area of the whole circle, right?

Now we know that the radius of the circle 4 feet. The formula for calculating the area of a circle is A = π $r^2$ .

We can plug in r = 4 into the formula, giving us A = 16π, because $4^2 = 16$ .

So 16π is the area of the entire circle.

To find the area of the sector, we need to figure out what fraction of the circle is shaded in.

If we know a whole circle is 360 degrees, we can divide 145 degrees by 360 degrees to find the fraction of the circle that is shaded in. 145/360 ≈ 0.4027777.

0.4027777 is a little less than 0.5, or one half, and if we look at our diagram, this is the right fraction.

Now, we can multiply the area of the circle by this fraction to find the area of the sector.

$A_{C}$ * 0.4027777 = $A_{S}$

16π * 0.4027777 = $A_{S}$

16(3.14) * 0.4027777 ≈ 20.2 $ft^2$

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through (3,-30) and has x-intercepts of -2 and 18. Then find the average rate of cha

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ . The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that $(3, -30)$ , $(-2, 0)$ and $(18, 0)$ are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

$9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30$

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0$

$324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0$

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

$a = \frac{2}{5}$ , $b = -\frac{32}{5}$ , $c = -\frac{72}{5}$ .

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ .

Now, we calculate the average rate of change ( $r$ ), dimensionless, between $x = -2$ and $x = 8$ by using the formula of secant line slope:

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{8-(-2)}$

$r = \frac{y(8)-y(-2)}{10}$

$x = -2$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (-2)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (-2)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(-2) = 0$

$x = 8$

$y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot (8)^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot (8)-\frac{72}{5}$

$y(8) = -40$

$r = \frac{-40-0}{10}$

$r = -4$

The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Vertical angles are supplementary, true or false?

beks73 [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are a pair of opposite angles created by intersecting lines. The Vertical Angles Theorem states that if two angles are vertical, then they are congruent.

Solve for the variable a D =a+b-c/3

yuradex [85]

Hey there,
solving for a is just like you think of all other letter as a constant
i.e the only variable is a
so you need to subtract b as a start
d=a+b-c/3
-b -b
=============

-b+d=a-c/3 now it's time to add c/3 (isolate a by itself in one side)

-b+d=a-c/3
+c/3 +c/3
==============
c/3-b+d=a

Hence you have solved for a

Gregory’s age is 5 years greater than of Amanda’s age. Gregory is 17 years old. If Amanda’s age is denoted by x, which equation

Mariana [72]

Let Amanda's age = x.
Gregory's age = x + 5.

Since Gregory is 17 years old.
17 = x + 5
x = 17 - 5
x = 12

Amanda is 12 years old.
