Question

An arc in a circle with a radius of 4 inches is subtended by a central angle that measures 110°. Explain how to find the arc length exactly, and then approximate the length to one decimal place.

Answer 1

The formula is

L = rC  where L = length of the arc, r = radius of the circle and C is the angle in radians.

here r = 4 and C = 110pi / 180

arc length L = (4 * 110 * pi) / 180 =  7.7 ins

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The angle is 110 degrees.

For plugging this angle in formula, we must change it from degree to radian.

110 degree will be : $110*\frac{\pi }{180}$

So, 110 degree angle is : 1.9198 radians

The radius is  4 inches.

The formula is : $s=r*theta$

s is arc

r is radius

theta is angle

$s=4*1.9198$

$s=7.67$

To one decimal place :

arc is 7.7 inches.    :   Answer
