In the figure below, both have the same center, and the radius of the larger circle is r. if the radius of a smaller circle is 3 units less than r, which of the following represents the area of the shaded region.

There is no figure attached! Maybe it's an upload error. Can you upload the figure in order to help you out? Thanks

Answercounterclockwise rotation about the origin by 180 degrees followed by reflection about the y-axisexplanationthe given figure has verticesrecall that for counterclockwise rotation about the origin, when we rotate figure pqrs counterclockwise through an angle of 180° about the origin, the coordinates will becomenext, we reflect in the y-axis by negating the x-coordinates of the resulting figure to obtain,therefore the correct answer is c

so the perpendicular line goes through the given pointyou would get a perpendicular line at some random location

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
