any ideas????
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
No
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
Do you have any ideas?
OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):
it's not my question i can help but i cant give the answer
OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):
okay so do you know what to do first???

arc length = radius* angle in radians
here the radius is 1
so?
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
No, I dont get what your supposed to do to get each one? Is their some formula?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
i've just given you the formula
OpenStudy (ashsmashum1290):
2pi*(x/2pi)=4.2 so x=4.2
OpenStudy (welshfella):
4.2 = 1 * x
x = 4.2 radians

ok, well even if you have the formula how do you know where to place the pieces?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
arc length = radius * angle in radians
its a unit circle so radius = 1
arc length is given as 4.2
so 4.2 = 1* angle in radians
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
\[S = r \theta\]
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
S = arc length
OpenStudy (welshfella):
yes

And since a unit circle has a radius of 1, this is pretty straight-forward.
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
S = 1*theta
S = theta
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
well all I can say is , is that they need to find a simpler way to get the answer to this type of question
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
so for (-1,0) I got -1
OpenStudy (welshfella):
if we take the radius of a circle and place it over the circunference taht is one radian:-
