An umbrella has 12 evenly spaced ribs. If viewed as a flat circle of radius 11 units,
1 answer:
Answer:
Area = 121pi/12
~= 31.66 sq units
Step-by-step explanation:
They are talking about looking at an umbrella like its a circle. The radius is 11 units. That is from the center to the edge.
Consecutive means "in a row" or "next to each other" The 12 "ribs" are the like skeleton structure in the umbrella. But they cut the umbrella into 12 areas. They are asking for the area of one "slice". It is 1/12 of the area of the whole circle.
Area of a circle is
A = pi × r^2
Area of one slice is 1/12 of the whole.
A(1 slice)
= 1/12× pi × r^2

The circumcenter is found by finding the intersection of at least 2 perpendicular bisector segments.
Find the perpendicular bisector to segment AB. This is the line y = -3.5; the idea is that you find the equation of the horizontal line through the midpoint of AB. The midpoint has a y coordinate of -3.5. This line is shown in red horizontal line in the attached image below.
The midpoint of AC is 2.5, so the perpendicular bisector to AC is x = 2.5 which is shown as the vertical green line in the same diagram.
The red and green lines cross at the location (2.5, -3.5) which is the circumcenter's location. If you were to draw a circle through all three points A, B, & C, then this circle would be centered at (2.5, -3.5)
If point D is the circumcenter, then we know this
AD = BD = CD
basically the distance from the center to any point on the triangle is the same. This is due to the fact that all radii of the same circle are the same length.
<h3>Answer: (2.5, -3.5)</h3>note: 2.5 in fraction form is 5/2 while -3.5 in fraction form is -7/2
