Answer:
87.965 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) the formula of full arc is L=2π*r, the formula of the required 7π/4 is:
L=7π/4 *r;
2) according to the formula above:
L=7π*16/4=28π≈87,964594300514210676954014731826 (in).
Okay so the problem starts you off with the fraction (1/4). Sharing equally among 3 people would mean that you'd want to divide it by three so your equation would initially look like (1/4) / 3. Having two dividing signs is confusing so what you do is change the dividing into multiplying by the reciprocal of 3 = 1/3... This would make your expression (1/4) * (1/3) and when you simplify this you should get 1/12 as the answer.
Should be 37 if you use Pythagorean theorem!
