Option a: 17.32 \ {m} is the length of b

Explanation:

The angle of B is \angle B=60^{\circ} and a=10 \ m

We need to determine the length of b.

First, let us determine the angle of A.

Since, ABC is a triangle, then all the angles add up to 180°

Thus, we have,

\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}

\angle A+60^{\circ}+90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}

       \angle A+150^{\circ}=180^{\circ}

                   \angle A=30^{\circ}

Thus, the angle of A is \angle A=30^{\circ}

Now, we shall determine the length of b using the sine law formula.

The formula for sine law is given by,

\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}

where a=10 \ m , \angle A=30^{\circ} , \angle B=60^{\circ}

Thus, we have,

\frac{10}{\sin 30}=\frac{b}{\sin 60}

Simplifying, we get,

\frac{10}{0.5}=\frac{b}{0.866}

Multiplying both sides by 0.866, we get,

\frac{10\times0.866}{0.5}=b

Multiplying the numerator, we have,

\frac{8.66}{0.5}=b

Dividing, we get,

17.32=b

Thus, the length of b is b=17.32 \ m

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.

7.5 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length of a sector is denoted as

\frac{x}{360}2\pi r, where x is the central angle of the sector.

Since the sector is 3/4 of a circle, the central angle will be 3/4 of 360 degrees.

3/4 of 360 is 270, so we have our central angle. We also have our radius which we can plug into the formula.

\frac{270}{360}2(5)\pi

2 times 5 is equal to 10, and 270/360 simplifies to 3/4. 3/4 times 10 is equal to 7.5, so the answer is 7.5 pi
