Question

A subtending arc on a circle with a radius of 4.5 centimeters has an arc length of 8π. The measure of the angle subtended by the arc is °.Which angle measure less than or equal to 360° is equivalent to an angle of ?

Answer 1

Answer:

  320°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The arc length is given by ...

  s = rθ . . . . . r is the radius, θ is the central angle in radians

We want to find θ, so we can fill in the given values and divide by the coefficient of θ.

  8π = 4.5θ

  θ = 8π/4.5 = 16π/9 . . . radians

Since π radians = 180°, the degree measure of the angle is ...

  θ = (16/9)180° = 320°

The measure of the angle subtended by the arc is 320°.
