Answer:
Scale factor = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using similar triangles
AT/AG = AB/AC
9/3 = x+10/3x-10
Cross multiply
3(x+10) = 9(3x-10)
Expand
3x+30 = 27x-90
3x-27x = -90 - 30
-24x = -120
x = 120/24
x = 5
For the larger triangle;
AC = 3x-10
AC = 3(5)-10
AC =15-10
AC = 5
AB = x+10
AB = 5+10
AB = 15
For the scale factor;
Since AT/AG = AB/AC
9/15 = 3/5
3*3/5*3 =3/5
Since the numerator and denominator of the larger triangle is multiplies by the same factor i.3 3. Hence the scale factor is 3
Radius = 15 feet
circumference = 2 * PI * 15 =

the length of the arc is 10 feet
So the angle would equal (10 / 94.25) * 360 =
