Question

The arc length

Answer 1

Answer:

• s = rθ
• 2.5 radians
• 143.24°

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is ...

  s = rθ

where s is the arc length, r is the circle's radius, and θ is the central angle in radians.

Filling in the given values, we find ...

  15 = 6θ

  θ = 15/6 = 2.5 . . . radians

Pi (π) radians is 180°, so the angle in degrees is ...

  2.5(180°/π) ≈ 143.24°
