Answer:
The value of k = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- An equilateral triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle N
- The area of the triangle is √3
- The shaded area is the difference between the area of the circle
and the area of the equilateral triangle ABC
- The shaded are = k π - √3
- We need to find the value of k
* <u><em>At first lets find the length of the side of the Δ ABC</em></u>
∵ Δ ABC is an equilateral triangle
∴ Its area = √3/4 s² , where s is the length of its sides
∵ The area of the triangle = √3
∴ √3/4 s² = √3
- divide both sides by √3
∴ 1/4 s² = 1
- Multiply both sides by 4
∴ s² = 4 ⇒ take √ for both sides
∴ s = 2
∴ The length of the side of the equilateral triangle is 2
* <u><em>Now lets find the radius of the circle</em></u>
- In the triangle whose vertices are A , B and N the center of the circle
∵ AN and BN are radii
∴ AN = BN = r , where r is the radius of the circle
∵ The sides of the equilateral angles divides the circle into 3 equal
arcs in measure where each arc has measure 360°/3 = 120°
∵ The measure of the central angle in a circle equal the measure
of the its subtended arc arc
∵ ∠ANB is an central angle subtended by arc AB
∵ The measure of arc AB is 120°
∴ m∠ANB = 120°
- By using the cosine rule in Δ ANB
∵ AB = 2 , AN = BN = r , m∠ANB = 120°
∴
∴
∴
∴
∴
- Divide both sides by 3
∴
- Take square root for both sides
∴ r = 2/√3
* <u><em>Lets find the value of k</em></u>
∵ Area circle = πr²
∵ r = 2/√3
∴ Area circle = π(2/√3)² = (4/3)π
∵ Area shaded = area circle - area triangle
∵ Area triangle = √3
∴ Area shaded = (4/3) π - √3
∵ Area of the shaded part is π k - √3
- Equate the two expressions
∴ π k - √3 = (4/3) π - √3
∴ k = 4/3
* The value of k = 4/3
We can see that the slope of this line is -2 and that there is no y intercept. The inequality for this line should be . This is because the shaded side is on the right side of the line, indicating all numbers greater than or equal to the line that satisfy the inequality. If it were a dotted line then it would be
, but since it isn't, your answer is
. Hope this helps.
