Solution
It looks like you've uploaded two images with math problems. Let's tackle them step by step:
First Problem:
A pendulum with a length of 18 cm swings through an angle of 87°. The goal is to find the distance the pendulum end travels when it swings through this angle.
To solve this:
-
Use the formula for arc length:
where is the angle in radians and is the radius (or length of the pendulum). -
Convert the angle from degrees to radians:
-
Calculate the arc length:
Second Problem:
A sector of a circle has a diameter of 70 cm and a central angle of 29°. The task is to find the length of the minor arc AB.
-
Find the radius:
-
Convert the angle from degrees to radians:
-
Calculate the arc length using the formula:
Summary:
- Pendulum arc length: 27.3 cm
- Minor arc length: 17.7 cm
