Question

In circle M, diameters JL and HK each measure 16 centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

3.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of an arc is a "part" of the circumference of a circle.

The circumference is the perimeter of the circle. Formula is:

$C=\pi d$

Where

C is circumference

d is diameter

Given diameter is 16, the circumference would be:

$C=\pi (16)\\C=16\pi\\C=50.27$

Now, the arc is 25 degrees, which is 25/360 th of the circle's circumference [recall, there is 360 degrees in whole circle].

So, we multiply the circumference we got by (25/360) to get our answer:

$\frac{25}{360}*50.27=3.5$

Minor Arc JH = 3.5 cm
