Acircle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. a point in the figure is selected at random. find the probability that the point will be in the shaded region.
about 60%
about 50%
about 30%
about 75%

The correct answer is first option 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle with side a = a/2√3

To find the area of equilateral triangle

Here side be 'a'

Area of equilateral = √3a²/4

To find the area of circle

Here radius = a/2√3

Area = πr²

 = π(a/2√3)

 = 3.14a²/12

To find the probability

probability = area of circle/area of triangle

   = 3.14a²/12/ √3a²/4

   = 3.14/3√3

   = 0.6043 ≈ 60.43 %  60 %

The correct answer is first option 60%

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
