Answer 2

@LegendarySadist

Answer 3

what are u trying to find. a sector, a segment, circumfrence, arc?

Answer 4

How can you get that number?

Answer 5

what is the degree of the angle

Answer 6

i kinda had guessed on this one but at first i thought you would divide but im not sure

Answer 7

not enough info! what is the degree, then I can solve it

Answer 8

im not sure theres nothing else besides that image is all the info it has but i think degree is 75

Answer 9

that's the radius

Answer 10

I've seen this problem posted before, the degree is supposed to be 90

Answer 11

oh...

Answer 12

(the full problem says "quarter of a circle" somewhere, I'll see if I can find the full problem...)

Answer 13

so what is the circumfrence @Moo_Moo17 ?

Answer 14

(here it is for verification) http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4f86f7d0e4b0505bf08697db

Answer 15

75*2*pi.

Answer 16

because 90 is 1/4 360, would it be fair to say that the arc is 1/4 the circumfrence?

Answer 17

so 150pi/4 is 37.5pi which is around 117.806

Answer 18

so it would be the last answer.

Answer 19

thank you plasmataco ^w^

Answer 20

you forgot to multipy by 2 when you were finding the circumfrence

Answer 21

@Plasmataco Can I make a question on it?

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

yea i figured that i was needing to multiply but i was just having trouble calculating

Answer 24

How do you define "distance"? is it the same with the length of the arc?

Answer 25

yes.
