Answer:

∠Q = 53.13 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∆PQR, ∠P = 90degrees , this means that the triangle is a right angled triangle

Hence using the notation

SOH CAH TOA

where S is sine, C is cosine, T is tangent and O, A and H represents the size of the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides

Considering ∠Q and the given sides

PR=16cm is the opposite side,

PQ= 12 cm is the adjacent side hence we use TOA

Tan Q = 16/12 =

Q = Arc tan 16/12

= 53.13 degrees

The perimeter of a rectangle is 20 centimeters. The length is 6 centimeters.

KonstantinChe [14]

Recall the formula for area of a rectangle

A = LW

A = area of rectangle
L = length of rectangle = 6
W = width of rectangle

Also, recall the formula for Perimeter of a rectangle

P = 2L + 2W

P = perimeter of rectangle = 20

We have L=6 and P=20. Use these to solve for W in the perimeter formula.

P = 2L + 2W
20 = 2(6) + 2W
20 = 12 + 2W
8 = 2W
4 = W

Thus, L = 6 and W = 4. Use these measurements to solve for A.

A = LW = 6 * 4 = 24 in^2

Calculate the area of the shaded region.

Nostrana [21]

Let $A$ be the area of the sector in the larger circle (radius 12 cm) whose central angle is subtended by the labeled arc with measure 45 deg, and let $a$ be the area of the sector in the smaller circle (radius 8 cm) with the same central angle. The area you want is $A-a$ .

We have

$\dfrac A{\pi(12\,\mathrm{cm})^2}=\dfrac{45^\circ}{360^\circ}\implies A=18\pi\,\mathrm{cm}^2$

$\dfrac a{\pi(8\,\mathrm{cm})^2}=\dfrac{45^\circ}{360^\circ}\implies a=8\pi\,\mathrm{cm}^2$

So the area of the shaded region is $18\pi-8\pi=10\pi$ .

What are the diameter and circumference of the unit circle? Answer using π.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Diameter = 2 Circumference = 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of a circle is the radius*2 and the radius of a unit circle is 1 so the diameter is 2. The circumference of a circle is the diameter*π. Since you are allowed to express it in terms of π. Just leave it at 2π, though the actual value of π is approximately 3.14
