Find the measure of the central angle. (Let me attach the file first)

attachment that goes with this question @IMstuck @nikato

@IMstuck @nikato can you help me with my question when you get the chance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

circumference is equal to 2*pi*r meaning that 9 = 2*pi*r so you find r which turns out to be 1.43 length of an arc is found be multiplying x with the radius, meaning that 1 = 1.43x so x = 0.7 radians

Thanks @Purplerainbowcherry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No @Purplerainbowcherry my program said "caution your answer is incorrect"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it want the answer in degrees or radians?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have to multiply by 180/pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you would get 40.1 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They also want the answer rounded to 2 decimal places

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.11 then :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or wait hold on, i rounded my r in the beginning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get 40.00 without any rounding done for r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope that's not answer either my program said "Try Again" not 40.1 @Purplerainbowcherry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.0 not 40.1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The whole circumference of the circle is 9. The arc length is 1. So the arc length is 1/9 of the whole circle's perimeter. That means x is 1/9 of 360 degrees (a full revolution) 1/9 of 360 = (1/9)*360 = 40 Which means x is 40 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was just replying of when u gave me the answer 40.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry, i updated the answer after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you @Purplerainbowcherry
