Are you trying to find the arc length?
Calculate the length of the arc bound by the given central angle.
\[arc length = radius*angle\] Where the angle is in radians, not degrees.
\[\angle(radians) = \angle(degrees)*\frac{ \pi }{ 180 }\]
840
Err, what? First, convert your angle to radians, keeping the pi. Then, multiply by the radius of the circle.
140 x 6/180
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
oh ok my bad
Well, I guess the order doesn't matter since multiplication is associative, but that isn't correct.
Simplify the \[\frac{ 140\pi }{ 180 }\] to its simpliest form. Then multiply the 6 in the numerator.
