Answer:

340 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So the key thing here is to notice that we are given the circumference which will allow us to find a value for the radius of the circle and hence the angle subtended by the arc (the central angle).

So the circumference of a circle = 2pi(r)

This means:

6 = 2pi(r)

Which means that

r = 6/2pi or r = 3/pi

Now we can use this value of r to find our angle in conjunction with the value of the arc length. So:

Arc length is defined by: length = θr

Where θ is our angle value.

So lets plug in:

\frac{17}{3} = (angle)\frac{3}{\pi }

Multiply by pi to get:

\frac{17\pi }{3} = 3(angle)

Divide by 3 to get that:

θ = 17pi/9

So if we convert that from radians to degrees we get 340 degrees.

If SA=1/2lp+B, find p<br><br> What is the formula for finding p?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>You must get p by itself, so first subtract B from both sides: SA-B=1/2lp. Then multiply both sides by 2, which cancels out the 1/2: 2SA=lp. Then divide both sides by l: (2SA)/l=p.</span>
