Can someone help me find the central angle of a circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat u ned help wit

OpenStudy (hba):

Do you have a particular question?

OpenStudy (hba):

\[central \angle = \frac{ arc length * 360 }{ circumference}\] and \[ circumference=\pi r^2\]

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

hba - with that formula the central angle will be in radians.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Wait a minute - I see it is being multiplied by 360 degrees. Okay,

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

and it seems the person with the question LaLaLawson isn't even here.

I Am Here, Im New To This Site, And Still Trying To Figure Out How To Work It.

hba such copy

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

The student total = 545 Central angle = (190/545) * 360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, I would take 545 Divided by 190? Im sorry, im tired, and confused.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Okay 190/545= .35

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Now multiply that by 360°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

126?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Actually it is 125.5°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you, i also have to round it to the nearest tenth, 125.5 to the nearest tenth would be 130?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

NO, tenth means one tenth so rounded to one tenth means the first digit after the decimal point. So 125.5 is the answer you need.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh Okay, I'm sorry. I Just want to make sure i fully understand :-)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well, I think you do now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i do, thank you.
