Answer:

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

let the

length = L

Width = W

Area = LW = 55

The length is nine feet less than four times the width

L = 4W - 9

W (4W - 9) = 55

4W^2 - 9W -55 = 0

4W^2 - 20W + 11W - 55 = 0

4W(W - 5) + 11(W - 5) = 0

(W - 5)(4W + 11) = 0

W - 5 = 0 , 4W + 11=0

W = 5 or  - 11/4

since the width cannot be negative, W = 5

LW = 55

L = 55/5

L = 11

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively.

A circle has a circumfernce of 6. It has an arc length of 1
fomenos

Answer:

The circumference formula for a circle is C=πd where C is the circumference, d is the diameter of the circle and π is a constant. If you plug in 6 for C and solve the equation for d like:

6= πd and then divide both sides of the equation by π you get that d = 1.90

To find the central angle of an arc you would use the equation S = rθ where S is the length of the arc, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the measure of the angle which in this case is unknown. So with S = 1 and r = d/2 = 1.90/2 = 0.9549 you would have an equation that looks like this:

1 = 0.9549θ.  

If you divide both sides of the equation by 0.9549 you get θ = 1.047197 radians.  

The question asked for the angle measure in degrees so you would need to convert the angle measure to degrees by multiplying the degree measurement by 180/π

1.047197 x 180/π =  60°

24 1/6÷12- 19 5/12÷12

24 2/2- 19 5/1= 5 3/1

3÷1= 3

5÷3= 3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Do the lcd and the number in between what you do is multiply the number next to it.

Step 2: Then subtract the mixed numbers and you get your answer.

Step 3: Divide 3 by 1

Step 4: Divide 3 by 5 and answer is 3 1/2
