Question

1. What is the measure in radians for the central angle of a circle whose radius is 6 cm and intercept arc length is 5.4 cm?

Answer 1

Hello!

1.
find circumferece
c=2pir
c=2*6*pi=12pi
intercept is 5.4

2pi radians=all

part/whole=part/whole
5.4/12pi=x/2pi
times both sides by 12pi
5.4=6x
divide both sides by 6
0.9=x
answer is 0.9 radians



2. 
assuming 9pi/5 radians

find circumference
c=2pir
c=2*26.9*pi
c=53.8pi

arc/circumference=(9pi/5)/2pi

x/(53.8pi)=(9pi/5)/(2pi)
x/(53.8pi)=18/5
times both sides by 53.8pi
x=608.46266 m
about x=608.46 m


Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
