Question

If the arc length shown is 15 feet, find theta to the nearest hundredth of a degree

Answer 1

@jigglypuff314

Answer 2

pi radians

Answer 3

\(\bf arc=s=r\theta\implies \cfrac{s}{r}=\theta\)

Answer 4

or in case you want it in degrees, then \(\bf arc =s =\cfrac{\theta r\pi}{180}\implies \cfrac{180s}{r\pi}=\theta\)

Answer 5

@jigglypuff314 can you helP?

Answer 6

jdoe's got this, he's better than I am at this stuff

Answer 7

I don't get it though, what do I do with his equation

Answer 8

@jdoe0001 can you keep explaining?

Answer 9

hmmm well,
r = radius
s = arc

just plug things in to get the angle

Answer 10

15 is the arc, but idk the radius

Answer 11

look at the picture, the radius is right there

Answer 12

I don't know the the radius value is though

Answer 13

6 is the radius?

Answer 14

yep

Answer 15

450/pi?

Answer 16

yeah and actually divide it by pi
because the problem wants you to round to the nearest hundredth :)

Answer 17

so 143 is the answer!!!??

Answer 18

round to hundredth
123.45
^ hundredth

Answer 19

143.24 you mean?

Answer 20

??

Answer 21

@jdoe0001

Answer 22

yeah 143.24 degrees is what I got :)

Answer 23

Thanks!
