The arc corresponding to a central angle of 65 in a circle of radius 10 feet measures _____ feet. Round your answer to two decimal places.

OpenStudy (jack1):

so what would the circumference of that circle be?

OpenStudy (jack1):

|dw:1371885318193:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not quite sure.

OpenStudy (jack1):

circumference = 2 pi r and r =10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (jack1):

|dw:1371885454705:dw|

OpenStudy (jack1):

circumference = 2 pi r = 2 x pi x 10 = 20 x 3.14 = ...? @StudentLearner

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (jack1):

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 ... =...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.347098 to be exact.

OpenStudy (jack1):

awesome man, props hey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you but will it be 11.35 or 11.34?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Round your answer to two decimal places.

OpenStudy (jack1):

exact = 11.34464, so round up to 11.35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (jack1):

always welcome dude
