<h3>Answer: 62</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

18 people get off, and 21 get on

We can write the 18 as -18 to indicate a loss of 18 people. The 21 as +21 to mean we gained 21 people.

The net change is -18+21 = +3 or simply 3.

After the first stop, 3 more people are on the train compared to before reaching this stop.

If x is the number of people before the stop, then x+3 is the number of people after the stop. Set this equal to 65 and solve for x.

x+3 = 65

x = 65-3

x = 62 people were on the train to begin with.

-----------

Check:

62 people to start off

62-18 = 44 people after the 18 people get off

44+21 = 65 people after the 21 new people get on

The answer is confirmed.

A) the length on the top is 2ft. You were supposed to subtract 11ft from 9ft. The length on the bottom is 17. You get that by adding 5ft and 12ft
b) then you add up all the lengths together.
2+5+12+11+9+17= 56ft

A circle has a circumference of 6. It has an arc of length 17/3. What is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?

zepelin [54]

Answer:

340 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the key thing here is to notice that we are given the circumference which will allow us to find a value for the radius of the circle and hence the angle subtended by the arc (the central angle).

So the circumference of a circle = 2pi(r)

This means:

6 = 2pi(r)

Which means that

r = 6/2pi or r = 3/pi

Now we can use this value of r to find our angle in conjunction with the value of the arc length. So:

Arc length is defined by: length = θr

Where θ is our angle value.

So lets plug in:

$\frac{17}{3} = (angle)\frac{3}{\pi }$

Multiply by pi to get:

$\frac{17\pi }{3} = 3(angle)$

Divide by 3 to get that:

θ = 17pi/9

So if we convert that from radians to degrees we get 340 degrees.
