If AB measures 155, what is the length of the radius of the circle, to the nearest hundredth?

@mathstudent55 @cherio12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same thing? @cherio12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya, but you work backwards. you are given length. now you need radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so I do 2* 3.14 * 14 ? @cherio12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find the cicumference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, 14 is not the radius. It is the length of the arc from a to b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you would have to find its ratio to the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we see that 14cm is from 155 degrees of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then what do I do? :) @cherio12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to get a ratio we do 155/360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 0.430 ? @cherio12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, i got that too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so now that I got that what do I do? :) @cherio12
