jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What's the area of the whole circle?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Use \[\Large A = \pi*r^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 12.56?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then you multiply that by 35/360 this will get you the area of the slice (that has a 35 degree central angle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So just multiply 12.56 by 35 which equals 439.6 over 360?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that gives the approximate answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of this segment is only 1.22?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok Thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh you round that to the nearest whole number to get 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok i just have one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we want the length of the arc, so we must find the entire perimeter of the circle first

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

aka, the circumference

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So you'd use \[\Large C = 2*\pi*r\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome ok i got it the answer is 2.7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just have a problem with these because these are the equations they give me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And i used that equation and it didnt work

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did it is also one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help with this one though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

wait, did you want to move on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i figured out the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's the gear's circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm how do i find that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of it as a circle

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it has a radius of 8

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oops 4 lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

r = 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i had to leave for a moment

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what did you get before you rounded?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25.13267.....

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so there are roughly 25.13267 inches per revolution (ie 1 rev = 25.13267 inches)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we now use the 8 rpm to help us find the linear velocity
