Mathematics

Tatiana [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  a = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem applies:

  a² + 20² = 25²

  a² = 625 - 400 . . . . . subtract 20²

  a = √225 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  a = 15

_____

You might recognize that the given measures (20, 25) are in the ratio 4:5. There is only one right triangle with sides in that ratio: the 3:4:5 right triangle. That is, the unknown side (a) matches

  a : 20 : 25 = 3 : 4 : 5 . . . . numbers on the left are 5 times those on the right

  a = 5·3 = 15

The arc length
Zina [86]

Answer:

  • s = rθ
  • 2.5 radians
  • 143.24°

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is ...

  s = rθ

where s is the arc length, r is the circle's radius, and θ is the central angle in radians.

Filling in the given values, we find ...

  15 = 6θ

  θ = 15/6 = 2.5 . . . radians

Pi (π) radians is 180°, so the angle in degrees is ...

  2.5(180°/π) ≈ 143.24°
