Ashley has a sprinkler that has several varieties of coverage. The quarter circle sprinkler head sprays water a distance of up t

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

314 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area that will be covered by the spray of the quarter-circle sprinkler head, is equal to the area of a quarter circle with radius of 20 feet

The area of a quarter circle is

$A=\frac{1}{4}\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=20\ ft$

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$A=\frac{1}{4}(3.14)(20)^{2}=314\ ft^2$

What is the value of x?

loris [4]

Answer: x = 9, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the sides are equal, it is an equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangles are also equiangular. The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, so each angle must equal 60 degrees.

set the equation equal to 60 to solve for x

7x - 3 = 60

add three to both sides

7x = 63

divide both sides by 7

x = 9

find y by setting the equation equal to 60

11y + 5 = 60

subtract 5 from each side

11y = 55

divide both sides by 11

y = 5

On the circle below, tangent line BC¯¯¯¯¯ is constructed by striking an arc from point D that intersects circle A at point B. Th

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{BD = 12\ units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB = 5 , then AE = 5 [Radii of the same circle]

So,

AC = AE + EC

AC = 8+5

AC = 13 units

Now, Using Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side i.e. BD because tangent strikes the circle at 90 degrees making the triangle a right angled triangle

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Where c = AC , a = BD and b = AB

$13^2 = BD^2+5^2$

169 = BD² + 25

Subtracting 25 to both sides

169 - 25 = BD²

BD² = 144

Taking square root on both sides

BD = 12 units
