A Ferris wheel car moves from point C to point D on the circle shown below: Circle A is shown with a central angle marked 38 degrees and the diameter marked 20 feet. What is the arc length the car traveled, to the nearest hundredth? 2.18 feet 4.31 feet 5.84 feet 6.63 feet

OpenStudy (alekos):

the formula to use is s=rθ where s is the arc length, r is the radius and θ is the angle in radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whaaaat? @alekos

OpenStudy (alekos):

just convert 38 degrees to radians and plug in the values

OpenStudy (alekos):

radius = 1/2 the diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you convert 38 degrees into radians

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radius is 10

OpenStudy (alekos):

degrees to radians => multiply by π/180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 38* 3.14/180

OpenStudy (alekos):

yeah thats it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.62 ? as the final answer

OpenStudy (alekos):

yep
