Answer :The length of the arc intercepted by a congruent central angle is proportional to the radius in similar circles.

Lets assume two concentric circles with same center.(refer attached figure)

The two slices are in proportion.

From the similar slices , the corresponding parts are in proportion

S1, S2 are the arc length

r1,r2 are the radius

\frac{S1}{S2} = \frac{r1}{r2}

The proportion can be written as

\frac{S1}{r1} = \frac{S2}{r2}

This ratio shows that the arc length intercepted by a congruent central angle is proportional to the radius in similar circles.

Please find the attachment for a better understanding of the answer.

As we can clearly see from the diagram, as the radius of the circle reduces so does the length of the arc for the same congruent angle subtended at the center.

Thus the length of the arc intercepted by a congruent central angle is proportional to the radius in similar circles.

This can be mathematically proven as thus:

Let l be the length of the arc

Let theta be the central angle

Let r be the radius.

We know that l=(theta)r

Therefore, for a constant theta, the arc length will vary in the same proportion as the radius.

Money is borrowed at 14% simple interest. After one year, $1249.44 pays off the loan. How much was originally borrowed? I got $1
WITCHER [35]
The formula is
A=p (1+rt)
A future value 1249.22
P present value ?
R interest rate 0.14
T time 1 year
We need to solve for p
P=A÷(1+rt)
P=1,249.22÷(1+0.14×1)
P=1,095.81 round your answer
P=1096

Hope it helps

A tailor used 6 2/3 yards of fabric to make hats. The amount of fabric needed to make each hat is 5/6 yard. How many complete ha
vfiekz [6]

Answer: The tailor made 8 complete hats

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of fabrics available to make hat = 6 2/3 yards

1 hat requires = 5/6 yards

Number of hat to obtain from the available fabric = Amount of fabrics available to make hat / requirement of 1 hat

=(6 2/3) / (5/6)

(20/3) / (5/6)

20/3 x 6/5 = cancelling out, we are left with

4x2= 8 hats

or

(20/3) / (5/6)

6.6666 /0.83333

= 8.00002= 8 hats
