We know that:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

is an equation of a circle.

When we substitute x and y (from the pairs we have), we'll get a system of equations:

\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}

and all we have to do is solve it for a, b and r.

There will be:

\begin{cases}(-1-a)^2+(2-b)^2=r^2\\(0-a)^2+(1-b)^2=r^2\\(-2-a)^2+(-1-b)^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}1+2a+a^2+4-4b+b^2=r^2\\a^2+1-2b+b^2=r^2\\4+4a+a^2+1+2b+b^2=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\
\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\\\\\


From equations (II) and (III) we have:

\begin{cases}a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\a^2+b^2+4a+2b+5=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2-2b+1-a^2-b^2-4a-2b-5=r^2-r^2\\\\-4a-4b-4=0\qquad|:(-4)\\\\\boxed{-a-b-1=0}

and from (I) and (II):

\begin{cases}a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5=r^2\\a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\end{cases}\\--------------(-)\\\\a^2+b^2+2a-4b+5-a^2-b^2+2b-1=r^2-r^2\\\\2a-2b+4=0\qquad|:2\\\\\boxed{a-b+2=0}

Now we can easly calculate a and b:

\begin{cases}-a-b-1=0\\a-b+2=0\end{cases}\\--------(+)\\\\-a-b-1+a-b+2=0+0\\\\-2b+1=0\\\\-2b=-1\qquad|:(-2)\\\\\boxed{b=\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\\\\a-b+2=0\\\\\\a-\dfrac{1}{2}+2=0\\\\\\a+\dfrac{3}{2}=0\\\\\\\boxed{a=-\frac{3}{2}}

Finally we calculate r^2:

a^2+b^2-2b+1=r^2\\\\\\\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2-2\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-1+1=r^2\\\\\\\dfrac{10}{4}=r^2\\\\\\\boxed{r^2=\frac{5}{2}}

And the equation of the circle is:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2\\\\\\\left(x-\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\\\boxed{\left(x+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2+\left(y-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{5}{2}}

Find the interior angle of a regular polygon which has 6 sides​
AveGali [126]

Answer:

120°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all interior angles in a polygon with n sides (n\in \mathbb{Z}, n \ge 3) is equal to (n - 2) \cdot 180^{\circ}. (Credit: Mathsisfun.)

The polygon here has 6 sides. n = 6. Its interior angles shall add up to (6 - 2) \times 180^{\circ} = 720^{\circ}.

Consider the properties of a regular polygon. (Credit: Mathsisfun.)

  • All sides in a regular polygon are equal in length.
  • All angles in a regular polygon are also equal.

There are six interior angles in a polygon with 6 sides. All six of them are equal. Thus, each of the six interior angle will be

\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}\times 720^{\circ} = 120^{\circ}.

As you are walking down a path, you see a sign telling the path has a 2% grade (ie., a rise of 2 metres for a horizontal change
Leni [432]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been given in this question that sign telling path has a 2% grade.

2% grade means a rise of 2 meters for a horizontal change of 100 m (As given in the figure attached).

All the trigonometric ratios for the angle θ between the path and the horizontal are,

Sinθ = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Cosθ = \frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

tanθ = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

Since measures of the opposite side and adjacent sides are given

Therefore, tangent ratio will be applied to get the measure of the angle,

tanθ = \frac{2}{100}

θ = \text{tan}^{-1}(\frac{2}{100})

Option (A) will be the answer.
