Hello.
The symbols | | mean the absolute value, which is keeps the numbers postive.
Of the answers shown, the correct answer is {-8, 8) because |-8 + 2| = 10, because of the absolute value symbols | |. (Also |8 + 2| of course equals 10.)
Yeah they looks pretty similar
I believe the answer is b
Answer:
13.98 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't understand it, either.
Point N is part of a "segment" that above and to the right of chord MO. It is the sum of the areas of 3/4 of the circle and a right triangle with 7-inch sides. The larger segment MO to the upper right of chord MO has an area of about 139.95 in², which <u>is not</u> an answer choice.
__
The remaining segment, to the lower left of chord MO does not seem to have anything to do with point N. However, its area is 13.98 in², which <u>is</u> an answer choice. Therefore, we think the question is about this segment, and we wonder why it is called MNO.
The area of a segment is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)(θ -sin(θ))r² . . . . . . where θ is the central angle in radians.
Here, we have θ = π/2, r = 7 in, so we can compute the area of the smaller segment MO as ...
A = (1/2)(π/2 -sin(π/2))(7 in)² = 24.5(π/2 -1) in² ≈ 13.9845 in²
Rounded to hundredths, this is ...
≈ 13.98 in²
