8 Bella does freelance marketing work and is designing a logo for a small cafe that<br />

offers free wireless Internet access. The company asked Bella to design a black<br />

circle with a white pie slice, as shown below.<br />

The logo has a circumference of<br />

30π centimeters and the length of the<br />

intercepted arc of the white pie slice is<br />

5π centimeters.<br />

a. What is the measure of the<br />

central angle of the white pie slice<br />

in radians see margin<br />

b. What is the measure of the central angle of the white pie slice in degrees 60°<br />

c. If Bella enlarges the logo so that the circumference of the circle is<br />

720π centimeters, will the length of the intercepted arc of the white pie<br />

slice change Will the central angle of the white pie slice change yes; no<br />

9 Byron is currently at a convenience store. He is going to drive to the soccer field.<br />

He knows that if it were possible to travel directly in a straight line from the<br />

convenience store to the soccer field, the distance would be 6.5 miles. He also<br />

knows that the angle that is formed by the straight line going directly west and<br />

the straight line going directly to the soccer field measures 30°.<br />

a. Approximately how far should Byron travel west Round to the<br />

nearest tenth. 5.6 mi<br />

b. Approximately how far should Byron travel north Round to the<br />

nearest tenth. 3.3 mi<br />

<strong>10</strong> Lola decided to rent a canopy for her graduation party. Lola drives three stakes<br />

supporting the canopy into the ground at points A, B, and C. The distance<br />

between A and B is 11 meters. The distance between A and C is 17 meters. The<br />

angle formed by the straight line going from A to B and the straight line going<br />

from A to C is 29°.<br />

a. What type of triangle is formed by the straight line going from A to B, the<br />

straight line going from A to C, and the straight line going from B to C<br />

oblique<br />

b. What is the area of the triangle that is formed by the straight line going<br />

from A to B, the straight line going from A to C, and the straight line going<br />

from B to C Round to the nearest tenth. 45.3 m 2<br />
