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.

Answer:

<h2>B. Standard</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The standard form of an equation of a line:

Ax+By=C

The general fom of an equation of a line:

Ax+By+C

We have the equation 3x - 2y = 4 in standard form.
