Are you trying to find the arc length?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Calculate the length of the arc bound by the given central angle.
OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):
\[arc length = radius*angle\]
Where the angle is in radians, not degrees.

\[\angle(radians) = \angle(degrees)*\frac{ \pi }{ 180 }\]

840
OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):
Err, what? First, convert your angle to radians, keeping the pi. Then, multiply by the radius of the circle.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
140 x 6/180
OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):
Err, no you mixed up the order. The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to its boundary.

\[arc length = 6*140\frac{ \pi }{ 180 }\]

i got 840
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok my bad
OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):
Well, I guess the order doesn't matter since multiplication is associative, but that isn't correct.
OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):
Simplify the \[\frac{ 140\pi }{ 180 }\] to its simpliest form. Then multiply the 6 in the numerator.
