Here it is.

@RICARDOismyfirstname

OpenStudy (anonymous):

143.24 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the radius of the circle is 6 ; using 2PiR you get 12 Pi ; 15 feet over 12 Pi = .397 ; you multiply that by 360 degrees to get the answer. cheers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, he got it spot on, But I'm not all too god at that stuff yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theta / 360 = 15 / (2(12)pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the fact that the ratio between the angle and a full rotation (360) is equal to the ratio between the arc length and the circumference (2 pi r)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow @fiercesteak thank you so much can you help me with one last one? that will be all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@wio could you help me with one last question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first question: 20 because in a 30 60 90 triangle, the shortest leg is half the length of the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second question: if the shortest leg is x the second shortest leg in 30 60 90 triangle is xsqrt3 so it's 10 divided by sqrt 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All the the triangles are proportional

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry the first question is wrong; it's the hypotenuse of the 2nd biggest triangle; it's 40sqrt3 over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now the answer to the last question is 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the second answer would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@fiercesteak

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second answer would be 10sqrt3 over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry double that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

double the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20sqrt3 over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 11.54?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what I got ~~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool and for the third question the answer would be 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the first question it would be 23.1 approximately?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well thanks for the help! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and my pleasure :)
