The length and width of rectangular traffic sign are 40 and 30 inches respectively

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

Perimeter of rectangular traffic sign = 140 inches

Let length and width be denoted as ‘L’ and ‘B’ respectively

Given that length is 10 inches longer than its width

L = 10 + B

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

Perimeter = 2( L + B)

On substituting the values, we get

140 = 2(10 + B + B)

140 = 2(10 + 2B)

140 = 20 + 4B

B = 30

Therefore, the length is L = 10 + 30 = 40

Hence the dimensions length and width of the rectangle are 40 and 30 inches respectively.

In a circle with center C and radius 6, minor arc AB has a length of 4pi. What is the measure, in radians, of central angle ACB?
valina [46]
To solve this problem, we need to know that 
arc length = r &theta;  where &theta; is the central angle in radians.

We're given
r = 6 (units)
length of minor arc AB = 4pi
so we need to calculate the central angle, &theta;
Rearrange equation at the beginning,
&theta; = (arc length) / r = 4pi / 6 = 2pi /3

Answer: the central angle is 2pi/3 radians, or (2pi/3)*(180/pi) degrees = 120 degrees

5 ÷ x for x = 1/3 solve
WARRIOR [948]
So if x is equal to 1/3, then our equation would be 5/(1/3). When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply by the reciprocal to find the answer, meaning that if you divide by 1/3, you can multiply by 3/1. So your answer would be 15.
5/(1/3)=x
5*3=x
15=x
