Let x be the amount of nickels and y be the amount of quarters in a jar. Totally there are 87 coins, then x+y=87.

Since nickel is 5 cent coin and quarter is 25 cent coin, then 5x+25y=1255 ($12.55=1255 cents). Solve this system:x=87-y and 5(87-y)+25y=1255.
435-5y+25y=1255,
25y-5y=1255-435,

20y=820,
y=820÷20,
y=41,
x=87-41=46.
Answer: 46 nickels and 41 quarters.

zvonat [6]
The formula in solving the length of an arc is shown below:
Length of an Arc = 2pi*r (central angle/360°)
Central angle = 54pi * (180°/pi) 
r = 34 cm

Solving for an arc length"
Arc length = 2*3.14*34((54*180)/360)
Arc length = 5,765.04 cm

The answer is 5,765.04 cm.
