Find the arc length of the minor arc. (Let me attach the file first).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The correct answer needs to be rounded to 2 decimal places

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 85! :) I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my program said "Caution, Your Answer Is Incorrect"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay do you have list that I can choose from? or is it what you have to type?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just gotta type my answer in the box @Melodysim

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on my program @Melodysim

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh I remember

OpenStudy (anonymous):

before my program kicks me off i gotta type my answer in the box @Melodysim

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like 4 Real

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arcs are measured in three different ways. They are measured in degrees and in unit length as follows: Degree measure of a semicircle: This is 180°. Its unit length is half of the circumference of the circle. Degree measure of a minor arc: Defined as the same as the measure of its corresponding central angle. Its unit length is a portion of the circumference. Its length is always less than half of the circumference. Degree measure of a major arc: This is 360° minus the degree measure of the minor arc that has the same endpoints as the major arc. Its unit length is a portion of the circumference and is always more than half of the circumference.

oh my god

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I meant your program kiking off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it really does that like 4 real

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know what you meann

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how many tries do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try 170 if not IDK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do You Know Somebody That Can Help Me???? @Melodysim

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Melodysim

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhhh hold up @haiimawesome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@precal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@precal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one sec lemme figure this one out

OpenStudy (bradely):

Arc length l =r(theta in radians) =(13)(85*pi/180) source: http://www.mathskey.com/question2answer/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I couldnt help @gswag98

OpenStudy (precal):

19.28588823

OpenStudy (precal):

Arc length is radius times theta its a formula we use in precalculus

OpenStudy (precal):

let me know if that is correct, just typing it off the top of my head

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's wrong and now there's a new question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on my program

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do You Guys Wanna Know What It Is???? @precal @haiimawesome @bradely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no that's wrong

OpenStudy (precal):

sorry did you round your answer to the place requested

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't go back to the question on my program

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But do you want to know what the new question is for the 2nd time??

OpenStudy (precal):

sorry, you have to read the questions especially if it tells you to round to a certain place, it will not recognize the solution if you input it in incorrectly ok tell us your new question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The new question is the same as this one but different picture

OpenStudy (precal):

well give us the picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the picture

OpenStudy (precal):

major or minor arc?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Minor

OpenStudy (precal):

can you show us the directions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just told you that this is the same question for this picture as well

OpenStudy (precal):

16.76 rounded to 2 places

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not right...my program said "TRY AGAIN"

OpenStudy (precal):

ok give me a moment to look it up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (precal):

120

OpenStudy (precal):

120 degrees is the minor arc 240 is the major arc sorry we were doing arc length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all questions came from program today and on these questions right now are from the practice test

OpenStudy (precal):

no we were doing area of a sector, just remember that is area of a sector

OpenStudy (precal):

did 120 work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no 120 didn't work now this is my last chance to answer the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need the answer before my program kicks me off and I gotta start all over again

OpenStudy (precal):

ok I don't know this at all.....sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Somebody Please Help Me Before I get kicked off of the program

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seriously

OpenStudy (precal):

http://www.mathopenref.com/arclength.html

OpenStudy (precal):

ok let me figure this out I got the formula

OpenStudy (precal):

2 times pi times radius times (degrees over 360) wait let me do this in a moment

OpenStudy (precal):

sorry I am still getting the same answer 16.76 so I can't help you

OpenStudy (precal):

\[2\pi(8)\frac{ 120 }{ 360 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gahhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nevermind I got 80 percent on the practice test

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

We already saw this question yesterday. The answer (using an approximation of pi from a calculator) is 16.76 rounded to 2 decimal places. If pi is rounded to 3.14, then the answer would be 16.75.
