Answer:

  6 lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

You essentially want the smallest integer solution to ...

  60x ≥ 350

  x ≥ 350/60

  x ≥ 5 5/6

The smallest integer solution to this is x = 6.

The minimum number of lengths of hose needed is 6.

_____

Informally, you know that dividing the required total length by the length of one hose will tell you the number of required hoses. You also know the ratio 350/60 is equivalent to 35/6 and that this will be between 5 and 6. (5·6 = 30; 6·6 = 36) The next higher integer value will be 6.

The arc length (s) is given in terms of the radius (r) and central angle (θ) by
  s = r*θ . . . . . . . where θ is in radians

For your arc, the length is
  s = (15 ft)*(π/4) ≈ 11.78 ft

_____
45° can be converted to radians by multiplying by π/180°.
  45° * (π/180°) = π*(45/180) = π/4 . . . . radians

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Three angles are equal

Let the equal angle be x

3x+120=360

3x=240

x=240/3

=80

Hence the three angles are 80∘
