Jada is finding the area of a sector with an angle \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) radian and radius 8 units. She found the area of the whole circle, then found the fraction represented by the sector by dividing \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) by 360. She multiplied this fraction by the area of the whole circle.
Which of these pizza slices gives the best value (the most pizza per dollar spent)?
a slice with a radius of 12 inches, central angle of 30\(^\circ\), and a cost of \$3 per slice
a slice with a radius of 8 inches, central angle of 45\(^\circ\), and a cost of \$2 per slice
a slice with a radius of 6 inches, central angle of \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) radian, and a cost of \$2 per slice
a slice with a radius of 6 inches, central angle of \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) radian, and a cost of \$1 per slice
The circle in the image has been divided into congruent sectors. What is the measure of the central angle of the shaded region in radians?
In the circle, sketch a central angle that measures \(\frac{5\pi}{3}\) radians.
The image shows a circle with radius 5 units.
Complete the table. Each row represents a circle with a defined sector.
| sector area | radius | central angle |
|---|---|---|
| \(5\pi\) cm2 | 5 cm | |
| \(12\pi\) cm2 | 270 degrees | |
| 12 cm | 15 degrees |
Several circles with central angles are described. Select all the circles for which the central angle defines arcs that have length \(6\pi\) units.
radius 6 units, central angle 180 degrees
radius 18 units, central angle 60 degrees
radius 12 units, central angle 90 degrees
radius 3 units, central angle 120 degrees
radius 4 units, central angle 270 degrees
Triangle \(ABC\) is shown with its incenter at \(D\). The inscribed circle’s radius measures 2 units. The length of \(AB\) is 9 units. The length of \(BC\) is 10 units. The length of \(AC\) is 17 units.
Noah makes three statements about the incenter of a triangle.
For each statement, decide whether you agree with Noah. Explain your reasoning.
