A 16.0-inch chord is drawn in a circle whose radius is 10.0 inches. What is the angular size of the minor arc of this chord? What is the length of the arc, to the nearest tenth of an inch? 5/5. What is the area enclosed by a circular sector whose radius is r and whose arc length is s? 5/8. A 36-degree counterclockwise rotation centered at the origin sends the point to the image point A. To three decimal places, find coordinates for A. 5/10. A sector of a circle is enclosed by two 12.0-inch radii and a 9.0-inch arc. Its perimeter is therefore 33.0 inches. What is the area of this sector, to the nearest tenth of a square inch? What is the central angle of the sector, to the nearest tenth of a degree? 5/11. (Continuation) There is another circular sector — part of a circle of a different size — that has the same 33-inch perimeter and that encloses the same area. Find its central angle, radius, and arc length, rounding the lengths to the nearest tenth of an inch. 6/14. Write without parentheses: (a) (b) (c) (d) 7/3. A triangular plot of land has the SAS description indicated in the figure at right. Although a swamp in the middle of the plot makes it awkward to measure any of the altitudes of this triangle, at least one of them can be calculated. Show how. Then use your answer to find the area of the triangle, to the nearest square foot. 7/4. (Continuation) Find the length of the third side of the triangle, to the nearest foot. 7/5. A 15-degree counterclockwise rotation about (4,6) transforms (2,1) onto another point (x,y). Find x and y, correct to three decimal places. 8/1. Simplify: (a) (b) 8/2. A 12.0-cm segment makes a 72.0-degree angle with a 16.0-cm segment. To th
