OpenStudy (anonymous):

So find the circumference of the circle first Which is 2(pi)r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Leave it in terms of pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Put anyways, we can work with what you have. What is PI/6 in degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi = 180 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, how many degrees is the inside of a circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you have a circumference of 81.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to find the distance of the arc for only 30 degrees Which is 1/12 of the whole

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you us the equation degrees/360*2*π*r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no. Okay 360 degrees is the whole which has the circumference or arc length of 81.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you want 1/12 of that what do you do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is 6.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
