So I think the arc AC = 120 degrees?? to start the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks like a 60 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the angle is smaller than 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you do angleAOB=180-60 =120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I am getting confused with another formula because I didn't think it looked right. Since 1/2 the circle should add to 180 and that didn't leave a big enough# for the larger arc. THanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120/360 x pi r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i meant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120/360 x 2pi x r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that angle BOA should be 120 degrees right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is that formula the last one you wrote called?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

circumference formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I just need the measurement of the arc AB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the measurement of the angle BOA = 120 and therefore the arc AB is 120. what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u finding the angle or the length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope. @craycray_fabster is right. the measure of the arc is 120, but the arc length is not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find length of arc AB is what the question is
