Answer:

  • ≈ 44.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use trigonometry

<u>The ratio of the adjacent side of a right triangle to the hypotenuse is called the cosine:</u>

  • cos x = 18/25 = 0.72
  • cos x = 0.72
  • x = arccos 0.72
  • x = 43.9455° ≈ 44.0° rounded

Need help with these math questions please.

Answer:

8 - 2π square units.

π/16 - 1/8 square units.

6π - 9√3 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square = 2√2 * 2√2

= 2*2*2

= 8.

The area of the circle = πr^2

= π * [ ( 2√2)/ 2) ]^2

=  π (√2)^2

=  2π.

Second Question:

The area of the circle = π(1/2)^2 = π/4.

Finding the area of the square:

1^2 = 2x^2

x^2 = 1/2

So the area of the square = 1/2

So the area of the red part = 1/4 ( π/4 - 1/2).

= π/16 - 1/8.

Third question

Area of the circle = 6^2 * π = 36π.

Now 60 degrees is 1/6 of 360 degrees so the are of the sector is 6π.

The area of the segment = 6π -  0.5 * 6^2 sin 60

= 6π - 18√3/2

= 6π - 9√3 square units.
