How do you calculate the probability that a coin tossed would land in the shaded region of a circle with a radius of 6 meters?

You divide the area of the shaded region by the area of the full circle. For example, if the radius of the shaded region is 2 meters, the probability would be 4pi / 36pi, or 1/9. If the shaded region is a 'slice' of the circle, the chance is just the fraction of the circle which the 'slice' is.

What is the area of a 10 degree slice of a circle with a diameter of 12?

Area of a circle is (pi)(R)2 .If diameter =12, then radius = 6,and Area = (pi)(6)2 = 36 pi .Full circle = 360 degrees.10 degrees = 10/360 = 1/36 of the full circle.Area of the sector ('slice') = (full area)/36 = (36 pi)/36 = pi = 3.142 square units (rounded)


How do you find the length of arc BC when the central angle of ab is 120 and the radius is 10?

This is your lucky day ! Watch now, as the Great and Powerful WA Contributorsolves your problem and answers your question without ever seeing the drawingthat's supposed to go along with it, and with no idea what 'BC' and 'ab' are . . .-- A whole circle has a central angle of 360 degrees.-- A whole circle with a radius of 10 has a circumference of [ (2 pi) x (radius) ] = 20 pi .-- A slice of cake with a central angle of 120 degrees is 1/3 of a circle.-- The arc at the fat end of the slice is 1/3 of the full circle's circumference = 20 pi/3 = 20.944 (rounded)-- Just in case 'BC' is the long arc, then its length is the other 2/3 of the whole circle= 2 x 20 pi/3 = 41.888 (rounded)Pay no attention to that old man behind the curtain.

What geometric shape is a slice of pizza?

Sector of a circle or Circular sector or Circle sector or Disk sector. All are "two radii enclosed by an arc" like a slice of pizza! :)

A slice, a segment or a sector.----------------A segment is the area of a circle between the chord and the arc. A "sector" is what you are looking for. See the links below.

A region of a circle called a pie slice?

A region of a circle called a pie slice is also called a sector. The sector is one of the main slices of a circle, the other is called a segment.


What is the area of a 10 degree slice of a circle with a diameter of 12?

Area of a circle is (pi)(R)2 .If diameter =12, then radius = 6,and Area = (pi)(6)2 = 36 pi .Full circle = 360 degrees.10 degrees = 10/360 = 1/36 of the full circle.Area of the sector ('slice') = (full area)/36 = (36 pi)/36 = pi = 3.142 square units (rounded)


How do you divide a circle into three parts?

I assume that you want to divide it into three equal "pie slices".If you have the location of the center of the circle, and are allowed to use a protractor (or other angle-measuring device), then you draw a radial line segment from the center to the circle, then another radial line segment at a 120° and to the first radial line segment, and final radial line segment at a further 120° angle.If you have only the circle, a straight-edge, and a compass, then you must first locate the center of the circle. Draw two cords, Use the compass to construct bisecting perpendicular lines for each chord. These bisecting perpendicular lines will meet at the center of the circle.If you now draw a chord equal in length to the radius, and radial lines from each of its ends, then that gives you a "pie slice" that is one sixth of the circle! So if you draw a second chord where the first ends, you have a "pie slice" that is one third of the circle.So you could draw five chord, each the length of the radius, each starting where the previous ended, and draw radial lines through every second chord-end. Or you could use the first two chords to find the length of a chord which corresponded to a third of the circle.(Actually, you don't really have to draw any of these chords, you just need to mark their end-points as you go along.)
