In order to subtract fractions, you need the denominators (bottom number) to be the same. $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4}{8}$ . $\frac{5}{8} - \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{8}$

What is the shaded portion of the circle

blagie [28]

Answer:

$(5\pi-11.6)\ ft^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the sector minus the area of the triangle

step 1

Find the area of the circle

the area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=5\ ft$

substitute

$A=\pi (5)^{2}$

$A=25\pi\ ft^{2}$

step 2

Find the area of the sector

we know that

The area of the circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees

by proportion find out the area of a sector by a central angle of 72 degrees

$\frac{25\pi}{360}=\frac{x}{72}\\ \\x=72*25\pi /360\\ \\x=5\pi\ ft^{2}$

step 3

Find the area of triangle

The area of the triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}(2.9+2.9)(4)= 11.6\ ft^{2}$

step 4

Find the area of the shaded region

Subtract the area of the triangle from the area of the sector

$(5\pi-11.6)\ ft^{2}$

Solve the equation -5x + 3 = 2x - 1

frozen [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 5x + 3 = 2x - 1

or, 2x + 5x = 3 + 1

or, 6x = 4

or, x = 4/ 6

Therefore x = 2 /3

Hope it will help :)❤

The temperature at a mountain base camp was −3 degrees Celsius on Monday. Tuesday morning, the temperature was 2 degrees Celsius

AnnZ [28]

-9 degrees Celsius

because when the temp is negative it and it keeps going down, then the numbers basically get added and have a negative sign in front of it.

-3 +-2 +-4 = -9
