Use the arc length formula and the given information to find r. s = 12 cm, θ = 36°; r = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that s=r*q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that q=s/r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do i find r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean instead of Q, u meant theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a sec i'll figure this out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s = r theta to find r you do s/theta which is 12/ 36 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the answer of the question? do u have it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 1/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nws :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

glad i could help :)

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hate to throw cold water on you two, but in discussions of arc length in a circle, we MUST express the angle, theta, in radians.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

36 degrees can be converted to radians as follows: 36 degrees Pi radians ---------- * -------------- 1 180 degrees
