Question

What is the arc measure of \stackrel{\LARGE{\frown}}{AC}

Answer 1

Answer:

72°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the radius(r) of the circle is 10 units and the length of arc ABC is 16π

The length of arc ABC = $\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r$

Where θ is the central angle in degrees.

Since the length of arc ABC is 16π,

$16\pi=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi r\\16\pi=\frac{\theta}{360}*2\pi *10\\\theta=\frac{16\pi *360}{2 \pi *10} \\\theta=288^0$

The angle in a circle = 360°, therefore:

Central angle for arc AB (θ) = 360 - Central angle for arc ABC = 360 - 288 = 72°

Therefore the arc measure of arc AB is 72°
