A circle has a radius that is 3 centimeters long. If a central angle has a measure of 2 radians, what is the length of the arc that corresponds to the angle?
If the angle is 1 radian, the arc is 1 radius. If the angle is 2 radians, the arc is 2 radii.
@Mertsj so it would be 2 centimeters ?
What is the radius?
3
If the angle is 1 radian, then the arc is the radius which is 3
If the angle is 2 radians, then the arc is 2 radii which is 2(3)
i'm terribly sorry but i'm not quit understanding :( here are the possible answers. a- 6 cem b-3 cem c- 2 cem d- 12 cem
The equation is: \[s=r \theta \] where s is the length of the arc, r is the radius and theta is the angle in radians.
Well what is 2(3)????????
If the angle is 2 radians, then the arc is 2 radii which is 2(3)
ohh so 6
thank you for you're help !
I think you meant "your" since you're means you are. And you are welcome.
