<span>An angle whose vertex is the centre of a circle and whose
sides pass through a pair of points on the circle is called a
</span>
central angle. The following symbol, pronounced “theta”, is
<span>
used to represent a central angle: .
</span>
Each central angle forms an arc length between the points
<span>
that it passes through on the circle.
The arc length of a circle can be found by first calculating
what fraction of the circle is represented by the central angle.
Then you find the circumference of the circle. Finally, you find
the fraction of that circumference.
For example, if a circle has a radius of 10.0 cm and a central
angle of 60°, to calculate the arc length for that angle we must
first determine what fraction of the circle is represented by the
central angle 60°. Since there are 360° in a full circle, we can
find the fraction of a circle by simplifying ; The
sector represents of the circle.
To find the arc length, we now need to find the circumference
</span>
of the circle. Circumference of a circle is equal to 2 r.

62.8 cm
The circumference of this circle is about 62.8 cm. To find the
arc length, we need to find of 62.8 cm.
62.8 10.5 cm
The arc length formed by this central angle is about 10.5 cm.

Answer: z < 4
z+4 > 2z
z+4-z > 2z-z ..... Subtract z from both sides
4 > z
z < 4
So the solution set for z is any number that is less than 4, which could be something like z = 2 or z = 3.
Answer:
.25(P), or P/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on what P, the answer should be .25(P)
Answer:
55 degrees and 125 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary means that they add up to 180.
x + y = 180
Let's let x be the larger angle.
x = 15 + 2y
The above equation comes from the information given, that it's 15 more than twice the smaller angle.
Now let's use substitution.
x + y = 180
(15 + 2y) + y = 180
15 + 3y = 180
3y = 165
y = 55
The smaller angle is 55. Plug this back in to the first equation to get x.
x + y = 180
x + 55 = 180
x = 125
Now that you have both, test them again just to be sure that they fit the given conditions.
