Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You would only have to focus on the green line and then you just have to divide it by 12 and you get 4 and than you multiply 3 cm by 4 and the answer for the actual length of the green line will be 12 cm.

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of feet to cm is 12:3. Set up a ratio to find the length of the green line in cm.

12 feet ÷ 3 cm = 48 ft ÷ x

Cross multiply and divide.

3 x 48 = 12 × x

144 = 12x

x = 12

The actual length of the green line is 12 cm.

Hope that helps.

How to find reference angle of 28pi/18

slamgirl [31]

I'm a big fan of converting radians to degrees so the angles are easier to plot in a coordinate plane. Converting the radian measure to degrees is done with dimensional analysis, using the fact that there are 180 degrees in pi. $\frac{28\pi}{18}=\frac{14\pi}{9}$ . Let's reduce that first. Now that's out of the way... $\frac{14\pi}{9}*\frac{180}{\pi} =280$ . So 280 degrees. That angle will fall into the fourth quadrant, only 10 degrees "after" the negative y axis, which is 270. We go 10 degrees into the 4th quadrant. Reference angles are ALWAYS measured from the tip of the terminal ray of the angle to the nearest x axis. Since all 4 quadrants measure 90 degrees, 90 - 10 = 80. The reference angle, then, is 80 degrees. Converting that back to radians we get that the reference angle is $\frac{4\pi}{9}$ . There you go!
