Answer:

The shorter piece is <u>37</u> inches long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter piece be x and the longer piece be 5x.

Short piece + Long piece = 222 inches

x + 5x = 222

6x = 222

x = 222 ÷ 6

x = 37

The ropes on either side of a swing are 1.9 m long. If a child swings through a arc length of 0.9 Determine the angle (in radian

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

theta = 9/19 radians or approximately .4737 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length is

S = r theta

where theta is in radians. Lets put in what we know. The radius would be 1.9 since the ropes would be the radius.

.9 = 1.9 theta

Divide by 1.9 on each side.

.9/1.9 = theta

theta = 9/19 radians

or in decimal form it is approximately .4737 radians
