Great! For everything you a
We have been asked to find
The formula used in the
The formula used in the solution is the formula for finding arc length.
There is no such thing as the area of an arc. If you're thinking about the formula for finding the area of a sector, that formula is:
Area = (central angle/360)(pi)(radius²)

This question is from Kaplan
Qn.: Circle A and circle B have their centers at points A and B, respectively. If point A lies on circle B, point B lies on circle A, and line segment AB has a length of 6, what is the area of region that lies within both circle A and circle B?
A) 12π - 6√2
B) 12π - 12√3
C) 24π - 6√3
D) 24π - 18√3
E) 24π - 24√2
Very interesting. That's
Very interesting. That's pretty much the same question as ours: https://www.greenlighttestprep.com/module/gre-geometry/video/1341
As you'll see, it's a long solution. I'm not sure if there's a faster way.
I was able to find Y no
If you had no problem getting
If you had no problem getting to the point where the length of arc length of CDE = (2/9)(60pi), then here's where we need to go from there:
arc length of CDE = (2/9)(60pi)
= (2/9)(60pi/1)
= (120pi)/9 [I multiplied numerators and denominators]
= (40pi)/3 [I divided top and bottom by 3]
= Answer choice D
I didn't know the formula, so
80 / 360 = s / 60π Where s is the arc length
4800π = 360s
40π / 3 = s
Answer is D
Perfect approach!!
Perfect approach!!
Please if O is the center
Hi Angel,
Hi Angel,
Which angle are you saying should equal x-90 degrees?
Cheers,
Brent
Please I meant Angle X.
You're correct to conclude
You're correct to conclude that, since O is the center, AO = OC. However, this does not mean that ∠AOC = 90°
If we add an imaginary line from A to C, we can see that ∆AOC is an ISOSCELES triangle, in which ∠OAC = ∠OCA, but we can't make any conclusions about the values of any of the angles inside ∆AOC.
To make conclusions about the angles inside ∆AOC, we need to use additional information.
Does that help?
Cheers,
Brent
I didn't notice the line, I
x-y = 20, means x = y +20. Opposite angles are equal which means we have 2(y+20) + 2 (y) = 360 ==> 40 +4y = 360 ==> y = 80.
then use the length of arc formula and the given radius to get the required result.
That's a perfectly-logical
That's a perfectly-logical approach. Nice work!!
I did it like this:
So w + x + y + O = 360
w = y (opposite angles)
x = 20 + w --> x = 20 + y
O = x = 20 + y
So we have:
y + (20 + y) + y + (20 + y) = 360
4y + 40 = 360
4y = 320
y = 80
Then plug this into the formula!
That works perfectly. Nice
That works perfectly. Nice work!!!
