OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

On this one you are trying to find the length of the arc, so you need to use the circumference instead of the area.

OpenStudy (scorcher219396):

Your angle is 240 degrees, and the formula for arc length is s=r(theta) 240 degrees, multiplied by (pi/180) gives it to you in radians, =4pi/3 then plug that into s=r(theta) and you'll get 12pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so that would be 2pir

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Right. And @scorcher219396 is also right. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be 12?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Right, 12pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay I get it !

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
