O is the measure of a central angle subtended by arc s=30 ft on a circle with radius r=10ft. First find the measure of angle O in radians by using the formula
 s=(r)(O) : 
30 = 10 * O    Divide both sides by 10
O = 3 radians

Convert 3 radians to degrees:

O = 3 * (180/pi)    Pi = 3.14 approx
O = 3 * (180/3.14)
O = 171.97 degrees
