Find the length of AC. AB=36cm
|dw:1376318488109:dw|
Well it is diameter and radius!
I know diameter would be 36 and the radius would be 18
Right!
Any point to the middle of the circle is what?
All the points on the circle to the center of the circle are the same length
it would be the radius
YUP! which is 18
so then do i use the radius to find ac?
No the radius is ac...
I mean the diameter is ac
oh
2pi*r*angle/360= lenght
Because ap is 18 and pc is 18
2*pi*18*150/360=AC
This got confusing...Whats the name of that equation @cinar
I always thought you used that to find arc lengths
2*pi*r= circumstances of circle right? 2*pi*r*angle/360= arc length corresponding to the angle..
2*pi*r*360/360= circumstances of circle =2*pi*r 2*pi*r*180/360=length of half circle=pi*r 2*pi*r*90/360=length of quarter=pi*r/2 2*pi*r*angle/360=length of arc corresponding to the angle..
for example length of BC=2*pi*r*30/360=2*pi*18*30*360
