Find the length of an arc of 40° in a circle with an 8 inch radius. (Use 3.14 for and round to the nearest hundredths.) ? inches

OpenStudy (perl):

use s = r*theta, but theta is in radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i so what would my answer be?

OpenStudy (perl):

use 1 pi radian = 180 degrees

OpenStudy (perl):

s = 40 * pi/180 * 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (perl):

use 3.14 for pi

OpenStudy (perl):

jonnny boy, do you understand what im doing ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5.86

OpenStudy (perl):

s = 2pi * 8 * 40/360 , this is another way to do it

OpenStudy (perl):

2pi *radius is your circumference, and we want the fraction of the circumference that corresponds to the angle that it 'subtends' or hits . so 40/360 of the total circumference

OpenStudy (anonymous):
