Arc length = 2 π R (C/360)
where:
C is the central angle of the arc
R is the radius of the arc
arc length = 2 π R (137/360) = 2.39R
Answer:
No, modern train cannot travel on old railroad.
Step-by-step explanation:
In rail transport, track gauge is the spacing of the rails on a railway track and is measured between the inner faces of the load-bearing rails.
Most of the modern train are based on broad gauge. The separation in broad gauge is about 5 ft and 6 inches and in the standard gauge the separation between the tracks is 4 ft and
inches. So for the modern train it is not possible to travel on the tracks whose separation is no more than 4.5 feet.
A is not right. Half the cookie would have an angle of 180
B is not right. 4 pieces would have an angle of 288
C is correct. 360/5 is 72 degrees
D is not right. 2 pieces would have an angle of 144
E is correct 90<144 so a 90 degree angle would fit in 2 pieces
