Arectangle has a perimeter of 26 feet. twice its length (l) is one foot more than three times its width (w). what is the length of the rectangle, in feet? a. 5 b. 13 c. 8 d. 16

The correct answer is C. 8 ft.

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

2L = 3W + 1

26 = 2L + 2(5)

Which means the lengths of the rectangle is 8 ft.

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
