@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ignore the shaded region and just focus on the entire circle for now

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the area of the entire circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

113.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

estimate

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, what is the ratio of the two areas?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(smaller area)/(larger area) = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah roughly, I'm getting 0.40275042543532 so that's close enough

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the smaller area is roughly 0.40275042543532 times smaller than the larger area so this means that the arc AC is 0.40275042543532 times smaller than the circumference

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see how that works out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok great

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do i do now?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now compute the circumference of the entire circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

37.7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm getting 37.6991118430776

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now you multiply 0.40275042543532 by 37.6991118430776 to get 0.40275042543532*37.6991118430776 = 15.1833333333332

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so arc AC is roughly 15.1833333333332 cm long
