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

A quadrilateral in which all sides have different lengths this describes?

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

It will still measure 33 degress.


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?

In minutes and seconds - as subdivisions of an hour or degree (angular measure).


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.

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

yes you can still determine the angle measure!


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.
