Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!find measure of arc MK​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arc length MK = 15.45 units (nearest hundredth)

Arc measure = 58.24°

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the measure of the angle KLN (as this equals m∠KLM which is the measure of arc MK)

ΔKNL is a right triangle, so we can use the cos trig ratio to find ∠KLM:

$\sf \cos(\theta)=\dfrac{A}{H}$

where:

• $\theta$ is the angle
• A is the side adjacent the angle
• H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)

Given:

• $\theta$ = ∠KLM
• A = LN = 8
• H = KL = 15.2

$\implies \sf \cos(KLM)=\dfrac{8}{15.2}$

$\implies \sf \angle KLM=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{8}{15.2}\right)$

$\implies \sf \angle KLM=58.24313614^{\circ}$

Therefore, the measure of arc MK = 58.24° (nearest hundredth)

$\textsf{Arc length}=2 \pi r\left(\dfrac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\right) \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius and}\:\theta\:{\textsf{is the angle)}$

Given:

• r = 15.2
• ∠KLM = 58.24313614°

$\implies \textsf{Arc length MK}=2 \pi (15.2)\left(\dfrac{\sf \angle KLM}{360^{\circ}}\right)$

$\implies \textsf{Arc length MK}=\sf 15.45132428\:units$
