Can someone help me with Two questions? (Questions Are Inside)

My answer for the first one is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1449216740079:dw| I know that other section is 120 degrees. What would be the next step @Directrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@superdavesuper

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

the arc in question is 120 degree. what is the angle for a complete circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 Degrees

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

for the complete circle, the circumference is...

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

nope...360 has nothing to do with circumference :( circumference of a circle is its diameter x....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24 times 3.14 would give us the circumference ? 75.36?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

correct :) and that circumference is for the whole circle of 360 degrees. now the arc u want to know is 120 degrees so.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I multiplied the diameter by pie to get the circumference so what formula would I apply to this to get the answer? If you give me a solution I will try to solve

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

|dw:1449218073763:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer be D? That's what I got as a final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I may be going wrong somewhere

OpenStudy (dayakar):

length of the arc (l) = x/360 * pi * r^2 here x= 120, r =12 ft

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 divided by 120 would Be 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi= 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12^2 = 144

OpenStudy (dayakar):

120 divided by 360 =1/3

OpenStudy (dayakar):

1/3 *pi *12*12

OpenStudy (dayakar):

48 pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

EXACTLY

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

length is not pi*r^2.... it is pi*2r....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I was correct the whole time

OpenStudy (dayakar):

sorry l= x/360 * 2* pi*r

OpenStudy (dayakar):

l= 1/3*pi *2*12

OpenStudy (dayakar):

8*pi

OpenStudy (dayakar):

@superdavesuper thank u ,i was mistaken

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

welcome @dayakar @LetsLearn2000 8pi is the right ans :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol I could do the work but you guys were confusing me with all the different formulas. Thanks though I will keep practicing at these types of problems.

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

@LetsLearn2000 u still got the second one - show us how u wuld calculate that! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the circumference would be 113.04 when Multiplying 3.14 by 36 Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 Degrees - 30 degrees would be 330 Degrees So that whole orange areas equals 330 degrees Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area**

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

correct on both @LetsLearn2000 but i wuld leave the total circumference as 36pi instead.
