the giraffe is 18 feet tall.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start with the original function.

We can immediately fill in the amplitude 'a' and period 'T' , as the question defines these for us, and provides values for 'a' and 'T', 4 and 4
respectively.

Now we only have phase shift and vertical shift to do. Vertical shift is very easy, you can just add it to the end of the right side of the expression. A positive value will shift the graph up, while a negative value will move shift the graph down. We have '-2' as our value for vertical shift, so we can add that on as so:

Now phase shift the most complicated of the transformations. Basically, it is just movement left or right. A negative phase shift moves the graph right, a positive phase shift moves the graph left (I know, confusing!). Phase shift applies directly to the x variable, or in this case the t variable. To achieve a -4/3 pi phase shift, we need to input +4/3 pi into the function, because of the aforementioned negative positive rule. Here is what the function looks like with the correct phase shift:

This function has vertical shift -2, phase shift -4/3
, amplitude 4, and period 4

I think it's 96 not sure though
Answer:
Around 5.5 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start by finding the area of the segment. Since the rest of the circle that is not in the segment is 240 degrees, the segment is 120 degrees or a third of the circle. You can therefore find the area of that segment with the formula
square meters. Now, you need to find the area of the triangle inside the sector. This is more difficult than last time, because it is not a 90 degree angle. However, you can solve this by dividing this triangle into two 30-60-90 triangles, which you know how to find the ratio of sides for. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the length of the smallest leg, and the larger leg is
times larger than the smaller leg. In this case, these dimensions are a base of
for the smaller leg and
for the larger leg, or the base. Using the triangle area formula and multiplying by 2 (because remember, we divided the big triangle in half), you get
square meters. Subtracting this from the area of the segment, you get about 5.5 square meters. Hope this helps!
