The parts of a circle are the r<em>adius, diameter, circumference, arc, chord, secant, tangent, sector and segment.</em>
Radius:
The distance from the center to any point on the circle.
Diameter:
The distance across the circle through the center point.
Circumference:
The distance around a circle.
Arc:
arcs in the same circle that have exactly one point in common. measure of arc divided by 360 multiplied by the circumference. the length of an arc. semicircle. an arc that is half of a circle; always measures 180 degrees.
Chord:
a line segment that connects two points of a circle.
Secant:
A secant is a line that intersects a circle in two points.
Tangent:
A tangent is a line that intersects the circle in exactly one point.
Sector:
region bounded by an arc of a circle and the two radii to the arc's endpoints. - A sector is like a "pizza slice" of the circle. It consists of a region bounded by two radii and an arc lying between the radii.
Segment:
A segment or length of a segment with one endpoint at the center of the circle.
Answer:
6.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Although there's multiple ways to solve this problem, my method will be to simply find the area for the full triangle (the empty + orange triangles) and subtract the area of the smaller, empty triangle.
Now, you that area for a triangle is 1/2*base*height.
To find the measurements for the full triangle, you must add up the bases for the two smaller triangles:
Height is the same for both triangles so Height total = 4 ft.
Now the total area can be calculated:
Area total= 1/2* base_total * height_total
Area total = 1/2 * 5ft * 4 ft
Area total = 20 / 2 = 10 ft squared
Lastly, subtract the area of the empty triangle from the total triangle to find the orange triangle.
Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * base_empty * height_empty
Area Empty Triangle = 1/2 * 1.9ft * 4 ft = 7.6 ft / 2 = 3.8 ft squared
Area total - Area empty = 10ft^2 - 3.8ft^2 = 6.2 ft squared
