Answer:

<h2>The height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are 16 pieces from the circle, which means each sector has an angle of

\theta = \frac{360\°}{16}=22.5\°

Where all sectors have equal area.

Now, the area of the whole circle is 12.25 \pi \ cm^{2}, if we use the formula of its area, we'll find the radius of the circle

A= \pi r^{2}\\ 12.25\pi = \pi r^{2}\\ r=\sqrt{12.25} \approx  3.5

Notice that each piece works as an isosceles triangle, because each side is the radius, that is, they have the same length. So far, we know the sides of the isosceles triangle and one internal angle.

To find the height of the one piece, we need to use trigonometric reasons, because the height divides a triangle in two equal right triangles.

cos(11.25\°)=\frac{h}{3.5}\\ h=3.5 \times cos(11.25 \°)\\h \approx 3.43

Therefore, the height is 3.43 centimeters, approximately.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT❤️❤️<br> Simplify the expression -5+i/2i<br> Step by step
zhenek [66]

Answer:

For complex numbers,

a + bi and a - bi

they have the interesting property that if you add them you get the real number 2a

and if you multiply them , because of the difference of square pattern, you get a^2 - b^2 i^2

But since i^2 = -1, we end up with a real number as a product.

e.g. 6 - 5i and 6 + 5i are conjugates of each other

sum = 6-5i + 6+5i = 12

product = 36 - 25i^2

= 36 -(-25) = 61

Your question is even easier, since the denominator is a monomial instead of a binomial, so we just have to multiply by i/i

Also I believe, according to the answer, that you have a typo, and you meant

(-5+i)/(2i)

= (-5+i)/(2i) *i/i

= (-5i + i^2)/2i^2)

= (-5i +i^2)/-2

= (-5i - 1)/-2

= (1 + 5i)/2 or they way they have it: 1/2 + 5i/2
