A sector is a <u>part</u> of a <u>circle</u> that is formed by two<em> radii,</em> and an <em>arc</em>. So that the length of the <em>safety railing</em> required is 31.4 feet.

A sector is a <em>part </em>of a <u>circle</u> that is formed by two <u>radii</u>, and an <u>arc</u>, thus forming a <em>central</em> angle.

Thus the required <em>length</em> of safety railing can be considered as the <u>arc</u> of the<em> sector. </em>

So that;

<u>length</u> of an <u>arc</u> = (θ / 360^{o}) * 2\pir

where θ is the <u>measure</u> of the <em>central angle</em> of the sector, and r is the <u>radius</u> of the sector.

From the given question, θ = 45°, and r = 40 feet.

So that,

<u>length</u> of the<em> safety railing </em>= (45° / 360^{o}) * 2 * 3.14 * 40

                                 = 0.125 * 2* 3.14* 40

<u>length</u> of <em>safety railing</em> = 31.4

Therefore, the <u>length</u> of the <em>safety railing</em> required is 31.4 feet.

A scale model of a tower is 24 inches tall and 18 inches wide. If the height of the actual tower is 60 feet, what is its width?
pochemuha

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem as follows:

height of the model/width of the model= height of the actual/width of the actual

24/18=60/x

Cross multiply,

24x=18*60

24x=1080

x=45 ft.

Therefore the answer is 45 ft.

The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a line perpendicular to the segment that passes through its midpoint. What is th
adoni [48]

Answer:

y = 1/3 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is

(4 - (-2) / 2 - 4)

=   -3.

So the slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / (-3) = 1/3.

This line also passes through the point (3, 1) so its equation is ( by the point-slope form):

y - 1 = 1/3(x - 3)

y - 1 = 1/3x - 1

y = 1/3 x (answer).

hope that help you mark me brinilylist
