Is radius measured in degrees or units??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no he[s wrong its degrees

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Radius is a length, so it is measured in units of length, such as meters, centimeters, feet, inches, etc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mathstudent, im sorry but you are wrong on this one, somebody should take that title away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shake the head!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My options are degrees, units, or units squared.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1405215850606:dw| @BettyBoop777 Here is a circle with radius r. If I said the radius is 3 units long, you mean to tell me that the radius is 3 degrees long?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.

OpenStudy (armyrangers):

No I am with mathestudent on this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

man u guys are all wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Listen I'll even draw a picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is so stressful, I'm sorry. :/

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

By units they mean units of length. Units squared means squared units length, which are units of area. Degrees are used for angles. Being that you only have those three choices, the correct answer is "units."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

units

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok, @BettyBoop777 . Now I have a question for you. |dw:1405216069387:dw| Here is an angle. The measure of the angle is 25. Could that be 25 degrees, or 25 centimeters?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well to answer your question @mathstudent55 its a trick question, there is no ruler provided in the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's this thing called APEX, every freaking question is a trick. I'm going with units, wish my luck!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There is no need for a ruler because I already told you the measure is 25. My only question is if it can be 25 degrees or 25 centimeters?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, then centimeters, sorry, but you guys are being kind of silly right now because degrees is temperature

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look let me explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was units! Thank you so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An angle will always be measured by degrees. Therefore, the answer will be 25 degrees.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

@cline13 Given your choices, units, units squared, degrees, the only correct answer is units. This is not a guess. It's correct for sure.
