Area & Surface Area Question
help me please!

The area of a rectangle is given by its base times its height.

In this case,

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

arc length = 6.63311 ft.

step-by-step explanation:

the formula the arc measure is:

arc length s=2πr(c)/360

where:

c   is the central angle of the arc in degrees

r   is the radius of the arc

π   is pi, approximately 3.142

using the above formula we get

s =

thus we find that arc length of an arc for a circle of radius 20 feet and central angle 19 degrees is

6.63311 feet
