Can anyone help me with this??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[L = R \times \theta\] L = 80, R = Radius of arc Theta =80 degrees \[R = L/\theta = 80/80\times180\div pie = 180/pie\] pie = 3.141......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm but im getting different answer..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80/80(180/pi) 1/ 180/pi 1 x pi/180 0.01745..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct @Mertsj ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

hang on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure..

OpenStudy (mertsj):

80/360(2pir)=80

OpenStudy (mertsj):

r=80(360/80)(1/2pi)=360/(2pi)=180/pi

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Wouldn't that be it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm so r=57.29578?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did u get 2pi from?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well yes except for the fact that the directions said leave it in the form N/pi

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It's part of the formula for the circumference of a circle.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[C=2 pi r\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

We know that 80/360 of the circumference is 80 in your problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay gotch ya.. thanks :)
