<h3>Answer: A) -2</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's find the slope of line AB

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-7)/(-6-4)

m = (-5)/(-10)

m = 1/2

The slope of line AB is 1/2

To get the slope of BC, we flip the fraction and the sign to get the perpendicular slope

1/2 becomes -2/1 or simply -2

----------

Slope of AB = 1/2

Slope of BC = -2

Notice how the two perpendicular slopes multiply to -1.

We know they are perpendicular because the four angles of any rectangle are always 90 degrees each.

in circle O the radius is 4ft and the measure of minor arc ab is 120 degrees find the length of minor arc ab to the nearest inte

KIM [24]

Answer:

$8\:\text{ft}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the arc is proportional to the degree measure it in encompasses. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle and the arc is 120 degrees, the arc's length will be $\frac{120}{360}=\frac{1}{3}$ of the circle's length (circumference).

The circumference of a circle is given by $2\pi r$ , where $r$ is the radius of the circle. Therefore, the circumference of the circle is $2\pi(4)=8\pi$ . As we found earlier, the length of the arc is $\frac{1}{3}$ of this circumference. Therefore, the arc's length is $8\pi\cdot \frac{1}{3}=\frac{8\pi}{3}$ .
