A radian is equal to the angle made with one radius, right?

mhm

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Now, first turn the degrees into radians: \[\huge{\theta_r=\theta_d\times\frac{\pi}{180}}\]

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Find what \(\theta_r\) is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2pi/9?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Great. That is the radian of the angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok , now how do I find the length of the arc?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Simply multiply the radian and the radius \[\Huge{Arc=\theta_r\times r}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2pi/9 * 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's just be 2pi?

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay! Thankyou!

OpenStudy (ahsome):

No problem :D
