If C is the center of the circle, find the measure of arc KM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):

you mean length of major arc KM ?? becaus minor arc KM is already given to be 16pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

hartnn (hartnn):

good, then radius = KM =18 can you find the circumference ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

113.1

hartnn (hartnn):

keep your answer in terms of pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[36\pi\]

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, out of this 36pi minor arc KM has 16 pi how much is left for major arc KM ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[20\pi\]

hartnn (hartnn):

thats correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn im confused my answer choices are the following A.50.24 degrees B.80 degrees C.160 degrees D.320 degrees

hartnn (hartnn):

lets use the formula, \(s = r \theta \\ 16\pi = 18 \theta \) find theta and convert it to degrees

hartnn (hartnn):

to convert a radian angle into degrees, multiply it by \(180/\pi \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[18\theta\] to radians?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean degrees

hartnn (hartnn):

no, \(16\pi = 18 \theta \\ \theta = 16\pi /18 = ...\) that will give you angle in radians. then convert it to degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got 160 degrees

hartnn (hartnn):

yep, correct.

thanks
