Question

In the diagram below, what is the approximate length of the minor arc AB?

Please help. I'll post picture below.

Answer 1

ok I cant do this the math way but I can use my common sense to eliminate some of the answer choices. u can do that too. which ones would u eliminate??

Answer 2

Mmm. I would say A, c. I'm over confuse.

Answer 3

ok I would eliminate A since the measure givin is way to small compared to the 5 cm. then I would eliminate C since it is way to long compared to the 5 cm. the 2 lines are really close in measure so best would be b or d. and if u got a ruler next to u, u could figure it out even better.

Answer 4

it wont be exact but pretty close

Answer 5

B or D, this hard :/. This is my last chance.

Answer 6

im pretty sure it is b since the lines are pretty much almost the same length!! ;)

Answer 7

Formula for Arc Length is: Radius x Theta.
Radius being 5 and Theta being 72 degrees which needs to be converted to radians by using (72pi/180) which comes out to 2pi/5, or roughly 1.2.
Going back to the formula 1.2 x 5 would give the answer 6 but when accounting for the decimal places you get 6.2 which rounds up to 6.3.

Answer 8

damn but I was close

Answer 9

and I only used common sense since I didn't know how tho do it

Answer 10

So answer is 6.3?

Answer 11

yes it is

Answer 12

Jeez thanks!

Answer 15

I did?? well, thank u, and ur welcome

Answer 16

well now if u don't know how to do them eliminate some answer choices :) lol
