Hi.

Formula for area: A = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Given information:
• l = 2w - 1
• A = 21 in^2

We can plug in our values accordingly and solve for w.

A = 2l + 2w
21 = 2(2w - 1) + 2w
21 = 4w - 2 + 2w
23 = 6w - 2
23 = 6w
3.83 = w

Plug 3.83 for w into 2w - 1 to find length.

2(3.83) - 1
7.66 - 1
6.66

Finally, check your work by plugging your values into the original equation.

21 = 2(6.66) + 2(3.83)
21 = 13.32 + 7.66
21 = 20.98

Answer:
The length is approximately 6.66 inches.

What is the arc measure of \stackrel{\LARGE{\frown}}{AC}
algol [13]

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the radius(r) of the circle is 10 units and the length of arc ABC is 16π

The length of arc ABC = \frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r

Where θ is the central angle in degrees.

Since the length of arc ABC is 16π,

16\pi=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r\\16\pi=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi *10\\\theta=\frac{16\pi *360}{2 \pi *10} \\\theta=288^0

The angle in a circle = 360°, therefore:

Central angle for arc AB (θ) = 360 - Central angle for arc ABC = 360 - 288 = 72°

Therefore the arc measure of arc AB is 72°
