Answer: Radius of the circle = 72 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of an arc = 48π

Central angle = 120⁰

As we know the formula for " length of an arc"

$L=\frac{\theta}{360}\times 2\pi r\\\\48\pi=\frac{120}{360}\times 2\times \pi\times r\\\\48=\frac{1}{3}\times 2\times r\\\\\frac{48\times 3}{2}=r\\\\24\times 3=r\\\\72\ units=r$

Hence, radius of the circle = 72 units.

arc length = circumference • (central angle (degrees) ÷ 360)
radius * 2 * PI = arc length / (central angle (degrees) ÷ 360)
radius = [arc length / (central angle (degrees) ÷ 360)] / 2*PI
radius = [48*PI / 120/360] / 2*PI
radius = 72

At the movies, you order 3 boxes of popcorn and a bottle of water. The cost of the bottle of water Is $1.75. Your total is $9.25

Phoenix [80]

If popcorn is p and water is w the equation can be written as

3p + w = 9.25

because there was 3 boxes of popcorn and one water (hence the coefficients) and the total is 9.25

then plug in 1.75 for w the price of water:

3p+ 1.75 = 9.25

you can move stuff around algebraically now (subtract 1.75 on both sides and divide by three on both aides) to get the cost of one box of popcorn (p).

The answer is 2.50
