Question

Circle W has a radius of 20 in and right central angle, ZVWX. Find the length of vx. Leave your answer in terms of pi.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the arc is 10 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the length of an arc is calculated as;

theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

theta represents the central angle subtended by the arc which is a right angle according to the question (a right angle is 90 degrees)

r is the circle radius which is 20 inches

so we have the length of the arc as;

90/360 * 2 * pi * 20 = 40 pi/4 = 10 pi
