Distribute
-12 -6a = -48
Add 12 to isolate -6a
-6a = -36
Divide by -6 on both sides to isolate a
a = 6
Answer:9 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The area to be determined is a segment of the circle.
Since central angle is 120 degrees and 120/360 = 1/3
area of sector of circle is (1/3)*36pi = 12pi
For the area of triangle, you can split it into 2 30-60-90 right triangles with sides 3:3sqrt3:6
thus base of triangle is 6sqrt3 and height is 3
Area = 1/2 * 3* 6sqrt3 = 9sqrt3 -->
segment area = 12pi - 9sqrt3</span>
12*12=144
144/24=6
The dimensions of the rectangle are 24 by 6
