A circle has a radius of 76cm. find the measure of the central angle in radians subtented by the arc of length 201cm.

OpenStudy (moongazer):

how to make it in radians?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

and what does subtented by an arc means

OpenStudy (moongazer):

wat?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

what is now the final answer in radians? i already have that kind of answer but i need to do it in radians

OpenStudy (moongazer):

why mine is \[(2.64\pi rad)/180 ?????????\]

OpenStudy (moongazer):

what should be my final best answer?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

isn't it when you convert degree to radians you multiply it by \[\pi/180????\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

201 : 2pi r = central angle : 2 pi radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U understand this now?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

why did you make it in ratio?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

is the answer (2.64πrad)/180 correct?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

what is radian?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

201 : 2pi r = central angle : 2 pi radians is where the formula u were given earlier (by Lalaly, I think, he seems to have deleted his responses) comes from. It says that the ratio of the arc to the circumference is the same as the ratio of the angle to 2 pi radians.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is a radian? The circumference is 2 pi r If you divide the circumference into pieces of length equal to the radius, then each piece is 1 radian.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 2 pi radians = 360 degrees.

OpenStudy (moongazer):

what is your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think u can work it out for yourself now:-) Study the information until u r happy.

OpenStudy (moongazer):

is this correct 201/76 if not in radian and 2.64 if in radian?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (moongazer):

just tell me please

OpenStudy (moongazer):

just yes or no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already said, you need to know that by yourself. Study the information until u understand it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look here as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radian
