Area of triangle AOB = 1/2

In the guestion they tell us that AOB and AXB are equal so..
Area of triangle AOB = 1/2 r^2 sin(theta)
Area of segment AXB = 1/2 r^2 (theta) - 1/2 r^2 sin(theta)

Now since their areas are equal :
1/2 r^2 sin(theta) = 1/2 r^2 (theta) - 1/2 r^2 sin(theta)

which simplifies to: 2 sin(theta)

AOBX refers to the whole shape. So the area of AOBX, or A(aobx), equals the sum of A(aob), the triagle, and A(axb), the area between the chord and the arc.
Put in an equation, this means A(aobx) = A(aob) + A(axb)
Since A(aob) = A(axb),
A(aobx) = 2 A(aob)

Answers will be ax + by + cz = d + 70√2 and ax + by + cz = d - 70√2
The values of a, b, c and d are the same as you found in part (i).

Basically, the only change from answer to part (i) is that we add or subtract a number to d,
And this number is equal to the distance (14) times the modulus of n (|n|, which is √50).

Try to think by yourself why it can be done this way.

(a) The first term of an arithmetic progression is −2222 and the common difference is 17. Find the value of the first positive term. [3]
(b) The first term of a geometric progression is ï3 and the second term is 2 cos 1, where 0 < 1 < 0. Find the set of values of 1 for which the progression is convergent.
can smebody plz help

I have some questions about statistics.
1) A cubical dice is biased so that the probability of any particular score between 1 and 6 (inclusive) being obtained is proportional to that score. Find the probability of scoring a 1.
ANS :1/21
2) For a biased cubical dice the probability of any particular score between 1 and 6 (inclusive) being obtained is inversely proportional to that score. Find the probability of scoring a 1.
ANS: 20/49
3) A fair coin is tossed 8 times. Calculate the probability that the first 4 tosses and the last 4 tosses result in the same number of heads.
ANS :0.273
4) Two teams each consist of 3 players. Each player in a team tosses a fair coin once and the team score's is the total number of heads thrown. Find the probability that the teams have the same score.
ANS: 0.313

Can someone explain to me how to find the answer ?
