Do you have a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just kidding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its actually 62.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So if the arc is 12, it is this part of the circle: 12/62.8

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So the measure of the arc will be that part of the entire circle which is 360 degrees. So multiply that fraction by 360
