what is the exact length of ab?
hold on drawing a diagram
|dw:1405580647048:dw|
find the circumference and scale it to 120 degrees
whats the circumference of circle of radius \(9\) ?
56.55 is the radius
circumference I mean lol
Excellent, since we don't have a full circle, we need to scale it to whatever the angle we have got
so if I did this problem right its 18 m
circumference of circle = \(\large 2 \pi (9) = 18\pi\) length around arc AB = \[\huge 18\pi \times \dfrac{120}{360}\]
simplify
leave the answer in terms of \(\pi\) cos they want it exact
18 \pi m\]
is the answere am I right
nope, \(18 \pi\) is the length around FULL circle.
length around AB = \(\large 18\pi \times \dfrac{120}{360} = 6\pi \)
ok I get it this is hard but I get it know I think thank you
glad to hear you got it :) yw!
