Find the for an area of a sector with an arc length of 60 in and a radius of 15 inches

1 answer:

8 0

Arc length = radius * central angle (radians)
central angle (radians)= arc length / radius
central angle (radians)= 60 / 15
central angle (radians)= 4 radians

sector area =(central angle / 2) * radius^2
sector area = (4 / 2) * 225
sector area = 450

Answer:

x - 18°F = 2°F

x = 20°F

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the equation with the information you know. It dropped 18°F from 6 to midnight, and by midnight the temperature was 2°F

Your equation should look like this: x - 18°F = 2°F

Move the constant to the right hand side and change it's sign:

x = 2°F + 18°F

Add the numbers to get x = 20°F

Hope this helped!

Write an equation in point-slope form, y – y1 = m(x – x1), of the line through points (9, –2) and (10, 2). Use (9, –2) as the po
