The clock has a diameter of 18 inches. at 8 o'clock, what is the area of the sector formed by the two hands of the clock? round to the nearest tenth.

The area of the sector is 84.8 in.² to the nearest tenth

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ the clock is a circle

∴ The measure of angles between each two hours = 360° ÷ 12 = 30°

∵ At 8 o'clock the hour hand pointed on 8 and the minute hand pointed on 12

∴ There are 4 angles between the two hands

∴ The central angle subtended by the arc = 4 × 30° = 120°

∵ The Area of the sector = where x is the central angle subtended by this arc

∴ Area sector = × π × (18/2)²

∴ Area sector = × π ×81 = 27π = 84.8 in² to the nearest tenth

ryan had a head start of 10 meters.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
