s = rθ

s=arc length

r=radius length

θ= degree measure in radians

this formula shows that arc length depends on both degree measure and the length of the radius

therefore, it is possible to for two arcs to have the same degree measure, but different radius lengths

the circumference of a circle is a good example of an arc length of the whole circle

If lines are not parallel can you still determine the angle measure?

yes you can still determine the angle measure!


What is the perimeter of 5000 acres in meters?

You can't tell the linear dimensions from knowing only the area. There are an infinite number of shapes that all have the same area. Even if you consider only rectangles, there are still an infinite number of different rectangles, all with different lengths and widths, that all have areas of 5,000 acres.


What is a 45 degree angle?

a 45 degree angle is less than a 90 degree angle and more than a 30 degree angle Its like cutting a round Pizza into 8 equal slices, one of the slices is a 45 degree angle, two slices would be a 90 degree angle. 360 degrees is the circle of the whole pizza. It doesn't matter the size of the circle, or Pizza if its easier, the angles will still be the same.


How do you measure a room for 13 X20 tile?

You calculate the sqft of the room, a sqft is still a sqft no matter what the tile dimensions are


What type of figure is rotational symmetry?

Rotational symmetry is when you turn or rotate a shape and it still looks the same. A circle is the most common answer. However, it you rotate a square about 90 degrees, it still looks the same, so it is considered rotational symmetry. Technically, any shape can have rotational symmetry because it you rotate it 360 degrees, it still looks the same.Definition of rotational symmetry:Generally speaking, an object with rotational symmetry is an object that looks the same after a certain amount of rotation. An object may have more than one rotational symmetry; for instance, if reflections or turning it over are not counted. The degree of rotational symmetry is how many degrees the shape has to be turned to look the same on a different side or vertex. It can not be the same side or vertex.

There is no special name. And some quadrilaterals with special characteristics (eg a trapezium) could still have all sides of different lengths.

Is it true or false that the lengths of the sides of a triangle affects the size of the angles of the triangle?

no it doesn't matter what size an equalateral triangle is, it still has 60 degree angles


What shape has 4 straight lines different lengths?

Any 4 sided shape is a quadrilateral. If all sides are of different lengths, that is as specific as you can get. Other 4 sided shapes have special characteristics about them, so they are given special names. They are still quadrailaterals.


How do we still use the number system based on 60?

Can two triangles be similar but not congruent?

Yes. The triangles have the same angle measures but different, similar side lengths. Think of two different sized equilateral triangles. One can have side lengths of 6 inches while the other has side lengths of 20 inches, but they still have congruent angles of 60 degrees. Each ratio of side lengths is equal [6/20=6/20=6/20].


What are the units in the metric system that are use to measure length?

All lengths are measured in metres. Kilometres just means thousands of metres, millimetre means thousandths of metres, they are both still counting in metres.

An acute angle could measure exactly 90 degrees?

No, an acute angle must measure between 0 and 90 degrees exclusive. So if it were 89.999999999 degrees, it is still an acute angle, but once the degree hits 90, it can only be a right angle.


Does very mild carpal tunnel still mean you have it?

Does a mild headache still mean you have a headache? Does a mild sprained wrist mean you have a sprained wrist. Yes, you either have carpal tunnel or you don't. The severity depends on whether you need an Advil or an operation. It's not a measure of degree of whether you have it or not, it's a measure of severity. Can you function with it or not? Talk to your doctor.
