Q:
a circle has a circumference of 12. it has an arc of length 11. what is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: 330⁰Step-by-step explanation:Circumference (C) = 2π · radius(r) 12 = 2π·r [tex]\dfrac{6}{\pi}=r[/tex]Arc length (s) = radius(r) · θ (reminder that theta is in radians) [tex]11=\dfrac{6}{\pi}\cdot \theta[/tex] [tex]\dfrac{11\pi}{6}=\theta[/tex]To convert radians to degrees, use the proportion: π = 180⁰ [tex]\dfrac{\pi}{180}=\dfrac{11\pi}{6x}\\\\6x(\pi)=180(11\pi)\\\\x=\dfrac{180(11\pi)}{6\pi}\\\\x=30(11)\\\\x=330[/tex]
