Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,
Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I gather that you need to find the area of the sector and then subtract from it the area of the segment to get the area of the triangle (although there are other ways in which to find the area of the triangle).
The area of a sector is:
where our angle is given as 34, pi is 3.1415, and the radius is 5:
and if you multiply and divide that all out you get that the area of the sector is:
A = 7.417
Now subtract from it the area of the segment, 2.209. to get the area of the triangle:
7.417 - 2.209 = 5.208
