I'm working on some summer problems so that I can be more prepared when I go into my class in the fall. I found a website full of problems of the content we will be learning but it doesn't have the answers. I need a little guidance on how to do this problem.



The following diagram shows a circle with centre o and radius 5 cm.
picture of circle
The points A, B, and C like on the circumference of the circle, and $angle AOC$ = 0.7 radians.

a. Find the length of the arc ABC.

b. Find the perimeter of the shaded sector.

c. Find the area of the shaded sector.



For a, the arc length would be the angle multiplied by the radius, correct?



l = 5 x 0.7
l = 3.5 cm



For b, would it be 2 radii and the length of the arc added together?

5+5+3.5 = 13.5 cm



And for c, I’m honestly not too sure. Is it the central angle over 360° = the sector over $πr^2$

For point $a$ and $b$ your answers are correct.



For the area we have that for the whole circle



  • $A(2pi)=pi r^2=frac12 cdot 2picdot r^2$

therefore for an angle $theta$ since the area is proportional to the angle



  • $A(theta)=frac12 theta r^2$

with $theta$ expressed in radians.

    Using this formula, I entered A = 1/2 x 0.7 x $5^2$ and got 8.75$cm^2$ as my answer. Does this sound right?

What is the equation of a 3D cone with generalised tilt?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite What is the equation of a 3D cone with generalized tilt? I've noticed that in most equations given to represent a cone, there is no parameter which defines the tilt of the cone in 3D space and that most of them have their point at the origin $(0,0,0)$ - I was wondering if anyone could give me a more generalized cone equation for a cone in any position in 3D space 3d share | cite | improve this question edited Jul 25 '16 at 0:05 ervx 9,425 3 13 36 asked Jul 24 '16 at 15:38 Charlene 11 2 2 Welcome to Math.SE! Could you please explain a few things to help people give an answer useful to you: 1. What do you mean by "generalized tilt"? 2. Are you asking about a right circular cone? Does the angle at the vertex matter? 3. What form of answer (implicit, parametric...?) are you looking for? 4. If this is homework, what tools do you have available, an

Color the edges and diagonals of a regular polygon

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 5 down vote favorite 1 Here is the problem: For what $n$ is it possible to color the edges and diagonals of an $n$-side regular polygon with $dfracbinomn23$ colors, such that you use every color exactly three times and for every color the three segments (edges or diagonals) with that color form a triangle? Trivially $nequiv 0 text or 1 pmod3$. I can also prove that if the statement is true for $k$ than it is true for $3k$ as well. How to finish? Please help!

Relationship between determinant of matrix and determinant of adjoint?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite We are studying adjoints in class, and I was curious if there is a relationship between the determinant of matrix A, and the determinant of the adjoint of matrix A? I assume there would be a relationship because finding the adjoint requires creating a cofactor matrix and then transposing it. linear-algebra determinant adjoint-operators share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 17 '17 at 17:32 CluelessCoder 32 5 For a square matrix $A$ of order $n$, we have $A(operatornameadj A)=(operatornameadj A)A=|A|I_n$ where $I_n$ is the identity matrix of order $n$.
