OpenStudy (jack1):
circumference = 2 pi r
= 2 x pi x 10
= 20 x 3.14
= ...? @StudentLearner

62.8
OpenStudy (jack1):
spot on,
now angle = 65 degrees
so arc is 65 degrees
and full circle is 360 degrees... yes?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

so what percentage of the full circle is our arc?
ie percentage = (arc / full circle) x100
OpenStudy (anonymous):
18.055
OpenStudy (jack1):
perfect dude,
so our arc is 18.06 % of our total circumference
so if our circumference is 62.83
arc length = circumference length x (percentage/100)
=...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
11.35
OpenStudy (jack1):
how'd jew go dude?
arc length = circumference length x (percentage/100)
arc length = 62.83 x 0.18055 ... =...?
