in the diagram above, the radius of the circle is 20 units and the length of arc AB is 15pi units. what is the measure in degrees of angle aob

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1376001648503:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\theta=\frac{ l }{ r},\in radians\] \[then \pi radians=180 degree ,1 radian =\frac{ 180 }{\pi } degrees \] here r=20 \[l=15 \pi \] simplyfy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i want to find the degrees of AOB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[First find \theta \in radians then convert \it \to degrees by the formula i wrote\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant understand what u said

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Basically 1 radian = 180° / PI So 1 radian = 57.2957795131 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\theta=\frac{ 15\pi }{ 20 } radians=\frac{ 15\pi }{ 20 }\times \frac{ 180 }{ \pi } \] solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 135

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and wolf i said the degrees of aob no radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thx for the help wolf1728

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

lalaioio I typed a way to convert radians to degrees 1 radian = 57.2957795131 degrees surjithayer said the angle is 15*PI/20 radians So if you multiply 15*PI/20 radians * 57.2957795131 do you know what you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the way u solve it is hard for me to understand
