Use the Arc Length Formula for Polar Curves to calculate the arc length of the entire circle
where to begin? :|
i would just put in the answer since it doesn't know how you did it
@satellite73 i dont understand :|
it it clear that this is a circle with diameter \(11a\) ?
hm yes?
k it is clear that the circumerence of a circle is \(\pi r^2\) ?
yes?
k then you are done with no work at all
arc length = circumference
so your saying the answer would be pi(11acostheta)^2 ??
radius is \(\frac{11a}{2}\) are a is \[\left(\frac{11a}{2}\right)^2\pi\]
wait wait i must be kidding circumference, not area!!
\[C=2\pi r\]
in your case \[C=2\times 11a \pi\] or \[22a\pi\]
nope that is wrong too i should just shut up now the radius is \(\frac{11a}{2}\) the area is \[11a\pi\]
damn two mistakes in one easy problem sorry
haha oh gosh ! ok let me try to see if that is the answer. it did suggest that i use this formula...
let me show you
@satellite73
you did it again! you were right !
you can do it that way too, but it seems like a lot of work for a simple formula you should know (and i should know too lol)
