Answer:

The ratio of white:milk:dark is  9:8:4

Explantion:

Let w represent white chocolate , m represent milk chocolate and  d represent dark chocolate

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

Here not white means , it can be milk or dark chocolate

Then

w : (m+d) = 3:4 -----------------------------(1)

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

Again not dark means , it will be white or milk chocolate

Then,

(w+m) : d = 17:4  -----------------------------(2)

Representing (1) in fractions

\frac{w}{m+d} =\frac{3}{4}

4w = 3(m+d)

4w = 3m +3d

4w -3m =3d------------------------------(3)

 Representing (2) in fractions

\frac{(w+m)}{d}= \frac{17}{4}

4(w+m) = 17d

4w +4m = 17d---------------------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4)

4w +4m = 17d

4w -3m = 3d

(-)

-------------------------------

7m = 14d

-------------------------------

\frac{m}{d} = \frac{14}{7}

\frac{m}{d} = \frac{2}{1}

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m:d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Answer:

40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The reference angle is the positive acute angle created by the terminal arm and the x-axis.

The highlighted red in the picture below shows what we're looking for.

The arm rotated 220° (but 'backwards' so the value given is negative).

|-220°| - 2(90°)          <= Subtract two right angles for two quadrants

= 220° - 2(90°)

= 220° - 180°

= 40°

Therefore, the reference angle is 40°.

If you got 50°, you probably calculated the angle with the terminal arm and the y-axis. Remember to always use the nearest side of the x-axis!

Gwar [14]

Answer:

3pi

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the entire circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi * 2^2

A = 4 pi

We know that this is 3/4 of a circle so multiply the area by the fraction of the circle

3/4 * 4 pi

3 pi
