This is a really interesting question! One thing that we can notice right off the bat is that each of the circles has the same amount of area swept out of it - namely, the amount swept out by one of the interior angles of the hexagon. Let’s call that interior angle θ. We know that the amount of area swept out in the circle is proportional to the angle swept out - mathematically
θ/360 = a/A
Where “a” is the area swept out by θ, and A is the area of the whole circle, which, given a radius of r, is πr^2. Substituting this in, we have
θ/360 = a/(πr^2)
Solving for “a”:
a = π(r^2)θ/360
So, we have the formula for the area of one of those sectors; all we need to do now is find θ and multiply our result by 6, since we have 6 circles. We can preempt this but just multiplying both sides of the formula by 6:
6a = 6π(r^2)θ/360
Which simplifies to
6a = π(r^2)θ/60
Now, how do we find θ? Let’s look first at the exterior angles of a hexagon. Imagine if you were taking a walk around a hexagon. At each corner, you turn some angle and keep walking. You make 6 turns in all, and in the end, you find yourself right back at the same place you started; you turned 360 degrees in total. On a regular hexagon, you’d turn by the same angle at each corner, which means that each of the six turns is 360/6 = 60 degrees. Since each interior and exterior angle pair up to make 180 degrees (a straight line), we can simply subtract that exterior angle from 180 to find θ, obtaining an angle of 180 - 60 = 120 degrees.
Finally, we substitute θ into our earlier formula to find that
6a = π(r^2)120/60
Or
6a = 2πr^2
So, the area of all six sectors is 2πr^2, or the area of two circles with radii r.
Answer:
There are many.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you say proportional, you are looking for a ratio that is equivalent to the ratio given. In your case, there are many so you might need to be more specific. But still, we can help you figure it out.
An easy way to do this would be to scale it down to its simplest form and then move upwards. To find proportional ratios, just multiply denominator and the denominator with the same factor.
That is your ratio in its simplest form. Now we can scale up, I'll show you how to do one completely:
That's the same ratio scaled up by a factor of 2.

That's the ratio given

Scaled up by a factor of 5.
The list goes on and on.
Answer:
105.19.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 1/2 ac sin B
= 1/2 * 10 * 22 * sin 107
= 105.19..
