– THE GRE QUANTITATIVE SECTION– 191 The area of a sector is found in a similar way to finding the length of an arc. To find the area of a sector, sim- ply multiply the area of a circle, πr 2 , by the fraction ᎏ 36 x 0 ᎏ , again using x as the degree measure of the central angle. Example: Given x = 60 º and r = 8, find the area of the sector: A = ᎏ 3 6 6 0 0 ᎏ ϫ ( ␲ )8 2 A = ᎏ 1 6 ᎏ ϫ 64( ␲ ) A = ᎏ 6 6 4 ᎏ ( ␲ ) A = ᎏ 3 2 2 ᎏ ( ␲ ) Polygons and Parallelograms A polygon is a closed figure with three or more sides. TERMS RELATED TO POLYGONS ■ Ve rt ice s are corner points, also called endpoints, of a polygon. The vertices in the previous polygon are A, B, C, D, E, and F. ■ A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment between two nonadjacent vertices. The two diagonals indi- cated in the previous polygon are line segments BF and AE. ■ A regular (or equilateral) polygon’s sides are all equal. ■ An equiangular polygon’s angles are all equal. FE D C B A r x r o – THE GRE QUANTITATIVE SECTION– 192 ANGLES OF A QUADRILATERAL A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. Since a quadrilateral can be divided by a diagonal into two trian- gles, the sum of its angles will equal 180 + 180 = 360 degrees. INTERIOR ANGLES To find the sum of the interior angles of any polygon, use this formula: S = 180(x – 2) where x is the number of polygon sides. Example: Find the sum of the angles in the following polygon. S = (5 – 2) ϫ 180 S = 3 ϫ 180 S = 540 EXTERIOR ANGLES Similar to the exterior angles of a triangle, the sum of the exterior angles of any polygon equals 360 degrees. 5 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 + m∠4 = 360° SIMILAR POLYGONS If two polygons are similar, their corresponding angles are equal and the ratio of the corresponding sides is in proportion. Example: These two polygons are similar because their angles are equal and the ratio of the corresponding sides is in proportion. Parallelograms A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. In this figure, A ෆ B ෆ ʈ C ෆ D ෆ and B ෆ C ෆ ʈ A ෆ D ෆ . A parallelogram has the following characteristics: ■ Opposite sides are equal (AB = CD and BC = AD). ■ Opposite angles are equal (mЄA = mЄC and mЄB = mЄD). ■ Consecutive angles are supplementary (mЄA + mЄB = 180 º ,mЄB + mЄC = 180 º , mЄC + mЄD = 180 º ,mЄD + mЄA = 180 º ). ■ Diagonals bisect each other. SPECIAL TYPES OF PARALLELOGRAMS There are three types of special parallelograms: ■ A rectangle is a parallelogram that has four right angles.

DIAGONALS In all parallelograms, diagonals cut each other in two equal halves. ■ In a rectangle, diagonals are the same length. ■ In a rhombus, diagonals intersect to form 90-degree angles.

I If those dreams are real and vivid enough – and if I let them – they can cast a shadow over the entire next waking day Here’s one that is particularly anxiety-provoking I give a hundred or so speeches every year So you can imagine how disconcerting it is for me to wake from a dream where I have showed up late for a presentation where I have no idea of what I’m supposed to be speaking about or what I’m going to say – not that it would matter much because no one in the hall has the slightest interest anyway Now when I have this dream in any of its many variations I practice what I think of as Directed Dreaming, my own version of lucid dreaming (technically, some lucid dreaming experts would say that it is not possible to “direct” dreams, but this works for me) When I realize that I’ve been playing a part in this subconscious drama in one act, before I get out of bed I’ll reimagine that dream, only in a way that lets me play the hero instead of playing the buffoon For example, I’ll visualize the group’s leader coming up to the podium and demanding attention, then saying “I regret that our featured speaker Anthony Robbins has been unavoidably detained and will not be with us today.” Groans of disappointment from the audience “However,” the man at the podium continues with a flourish in my direction, “it is our vast good fortune that Joe Tye just happened to be staying at our convention hotel, and he has agreed to share a few words with us.” Thunderous applause, cheers, and hurrahs Once more motioning for silence the emcee says, “Mr Tye warned me that he knows nothing about our conference topic of bovine genetics, but I assured him that we’d much rather hear him speak about values and culture – am I right?” Fade to a rapturous standing ovation as I walk onstage 1/2 Direct your dreams in a positive way Grandiose and ridiculous? Guilty on all charges But tell me, how would you rather start your day: having awoken from a dream where you’ve showed up in your underwear to give a speech you don’t know to people who don’t care, or to a standing ovation for having been at the right place at the right time with the right message? 2/2 Majumdar and Mazaleni Journal of the International AIDS Society 2010, 13:20 http://www.jiasociety.org/content/13/1/20 Open Access RESEARCH © 2010 Majumdar and Mazaleni; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Research The experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS and of their direct informal caregivers in a resource-poor setting Basanti Majumdar* †1 and Nomathemba Mazaleni †2 Abstract Background: HIV/AIDS is a critical concern in South Africa, where extreme poverty and gender issues are major determinants of health. A comprehensive home-based care programme is needed to lessen the burden placed on the caregivers of those suffering from HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the challenges faced by people who are living with HIV/AIDS and by their caregivers in resource-poor, remote South African villages. Methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with nine persons living with HIV/AIDS and their nine direct informal caregivers. Interviews explored the themes of physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Two focus groups, one involving community leaders and one with local health care providers, were conducted to build on themes emerging from the in-depth interviews. A thematic analysis of the transcripts was performed. Results: This study sheds light on the needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and the needs of their direct informal caregivers in a rural area of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. These needs include: physical/medical, social, material, financial, physiological/emotional, gender issues, and instrumental. Conclusions: In developing home-based care programmes, it is vital to consider the perceived needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS and their direct informal caregivers. The results from this study serve as a basis for the development of a home-based care programme in one resource-poor setting of South Africa and could provide a model for such programmes in similar areas. Background The latest AIDS Epidemic Update, published by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization (WHO), estimates that 33.2 million people were living with HIV in 2007 [1]. With an estimated 5.5 million people infected [2], South Africa is burdened with the largest HIV-infected popula- tion in the world [1]. Although South Africa is considered to be a middle- income country, it has one of the highest levels of income inequality in the world. While the wealthiest 10% of the population account for 51% of the country's income, the poorest 10% account for only 0.2% [3]. Despite post- apartheid policies that have increased health spending in poor districts, rural and African residents bear the largest burden of illness [3,4].
