Let's see how many pounds can a one foot I-beam handle. If a 15 feet I-beam can handle 2000 pounds, then a one foot I-beam can handle 1/15 of that weight.

2000 * \frac{1}{15} = 133 1/3

So, for every extra foot, it can handle an additional 133 1/3 pounds.

Now we want to find out how many pounds a 10 feet I-beam can handle. 

10 * \frac{400}{3} = 4000/3 or 1333 1/3 pounds

So, a 10 feet I-beam can handle 1333 1/3 pounds.

The radius of a circle is 4 feet. What is the length of a 90° arc? HELP ME PLEASE
Elza [17]

Answer:

6.3feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Radius= 4feet

The expression for the circumference of a circle is

C= 2πr

Substitute

C=2*3.142*4

C=25.136 feet

Also, a 90° arc is 1/4 of the circumference of a circle

Hence the length of the 90° arc is

=25.136/4

=6.284 feet

=6.3feet
