<span>0.27 * 60 = Take the integer part only to get the minutes, then multiply the decimal part by 60 again to get the second</span>
This question is pretty confusing in the way that i'm not entirely sure what it wants the answer to be, but i'll do my best.
i used the simple interest formula to come up with the equations, and the formula is I = PRT, (I) being interest, (P) being the amount, (R) being the rate of interest, (T) being the time, in months
b = the balance on the customer's account
c = service charge
t = number of months
if b > 1000, then c = b*.008t
if b </= to 1000, then c = b*.012t
if b < 50, then c = t
if b = 0, then c = 0
it looks really confusing but i'm hoping it's lining up with what you're learning and not completely ?????
i created the restrictions with the inequalities based on the given information of what happens when a balance exceeds 1000, is less than 1000, is less than 50, and is 0.
i used the remainder of the given information in the problem to get the equations -- the interest rate for b > 1000 is 0.8%, which is .008, b </= 1000 is .012, and so on. i hope this wasn't too terribly confusing, and let me know if you have any questions about how i came up with the equations!!
Alright, so first of all, you need to find the area of the circle that is part of the cone-shaped area so you can remove it. You need the formula:
where c = angle. Now plug in the answers, and you get:

.
This would then equal to
.
now, essentially, the shape of this ENTIRE area is of 2 right triangles. Divide 120 by 2, you get 60 degrees. You have 2 60/30/90 triangles (shown in the bottom)
Now, what you need to do is to find the area of the entire thing by using the formula to calculate the right triangle area (A = (1/2)bh). You have
b, which is
6. To find the h, you use
tan(60) = x/6, which gives you

.
The area of one right triangle of this size would be =

Because 2 right triangles, multiply the area by 2 and get:

Now, remember the area of that circle in that total area? subtract it from the total area (

) by 12pi and you get 24.65.
The final answer is 24.65
