45/360 of the total area of the circle with radius (1/2)d = 15/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I still don't get it.

OpenStudy (danjs):

can you figure the area of the circle with diameter 15 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (danjs):

Area Circle = pi*radius^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so it would be 3.14(7.5)^2

OpenStudy (danjs):

yes

OpenStudy (danjs):

The slice is 45 degrees of arc out of the full 360 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

176.625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and...

OpenStudy (danjs):

45/360 is the fraction of the full circle that the slice is

OpenStudy (danjs):

or 1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.125

OpenStudy (danjs):

yes, so you have 1/8 of the total area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it now. thx

OpenStudy (danjs):

cool, welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me on another one?

Using the following equation, find the center and radius: x2 + 2x + y2 + 4y = 20 The center is located at (1, 2), and the radius is 25. The center is located at (-1, 2), and the radius is 25. The center is located at (-1, -2), and the radius is 5. The center is located at (1, 2), and the radius is 5.

OpenStudy (danjs):

complete the square on the x and y portions

OpenStudy (danjs):

to get into form (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

OpenStudy (danjs):

center (h,k) and radius r
