Answers for sheet # 11

1) 5 - (15) = 20 degrees


2) 2 x 3.14 x r = 28.27

r = 4.50 meters

Area = 3.14 x 4.5 x 4.5
63.58 meters

3)
Length of the phone call: 44 minutes
Total cost: 44 x 16 cents = $7.04 cents

After 11 p.m., 30% discount. Total cost of the same call = $4.92. He would have saved $2.11
