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.

This is not a function. There are multiple outputs for the same input at x=2. A function only has 1 output for every input.

WILL GIVE BRAINLESS <br>factor the polynomial
Svetach [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

This is factor by grouping. In factor by grouping, write a quadratic trinomil as 4 terms and group by parenthesis. Then factor by GCF in each pair. If the two parenthesis match, the factoring has worked and the factors will be the GCFs as one and the parenthesis as one other.

The factors here are the GCFs 2x^2 and -3 as (2x^2-3) and the parenthesis (x-5).
