First off we need to use the formula S = rΘ
S - is the arc length
Θ - is theta which is the radian measure
r - is the radius
In this problem we need to find r
So, our equation would look like:
S ÷ Θ = r
Before we solve though, we need to convert the degrees to radians:
To convert from degrees to radians, multiply the degrees by π/180° radians:
60 x π/180 = 1.0472
If you input the numbers you get:
10.2 / 1.0472 = 9.740
The radius is 9.7 yards.
