Let's say x is longest side, y is shortest side and z is the other side. So we have some equations such that

x+y+z=57 (by the first sentence)

x=(y+z) -3 (by the second sentence)

2y=x-15  (by the third sentence)

By the second equation, we have y+z=x+3 and if we use it in the first equation, then x+y+z=x+(x+3)=57. So x=27

Since x=27, if we use it in the third equation the we have 2y=x-15=27-15=12 then y=6

Therefore z=24

Find the shaded sector and the length of the arc. Round to the nearest hundredth. ​
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll show you how to do the first one; the other are exactly the same, so pay attention.

The formula for arc length is

AL=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r where θ is the central angle's measure. It just so happens that the measure of the central angle is the same as the measure of the arc it intercepts. Our arc shows a measure of 40°; this measure is NOT the same as the length. Measures are in degrees while length is in inches, or cm, or meters, etc. Going off that info, our central angle measures 40°. Filling in the formula and using 3.1415 for π:

AL=\frac{40}{360}*2(3.1415)(3). I'm going to reduce that fraction a bit (and I'll use the same reduction in the Area of a sector coming up next):

AL=\frac{1}{9}*2(3.1415)(3) which makes

AL = 2.09 units. Now for Area of the Sector. The formula is almost identical, but instead uses the idea that the area of a circle is πr²:

A_s=\frac{\theta}{360}*\pi r^2 where θ is, again, the measure of the central angle (which is the same as the measure of the arc it intercepts). Filling in:

A_s=\frac{1}{9}*(3.1415)(3)^2 which simplifies a bit to

A_s=\frac{1}{9}*(3.1415)(9). As you can see, the 9's cancel each other out, leaving you with

A_s=3.14 units²

A teacher needs to determine the percentage scores on her students' test. A student reccived a score of 59 points on a 65 point
Nookie1986 [14]

To find what percent a part is of the toal, divide the part by the total and multiply by 100.

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = 59/65 * 100% = 0.90769... * 100% = 91%
