Question

What is the measure in radians for the central angle of a circle whose radius r = 4 cm, and intercepted arc length s = 1.2 cm? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. radians

Answer 1

Answer:

17.1972degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

length of an arc = theta/360 * 2πr

Substitute the given angle;

1.2 = theta/360 * 2(3.14)(4)

1.2 = theta/360 * 25.12

1.2/25.12 = theta/360

0.04777 = theta/360

theta = 360 * .04777

theta = 17.1972

Hence the required angle is 17.1972degrees
