ganeshie8 · Answer

first convert the angle to more sophisticated units : radians

ganeshie8 · Answer

know how to convert $35$ degrees to radians ?

anonymous · Answer

yes is it $$\Pi/12$$

anonymous · Answer

oh nvm i think i did the wrong number

anonymous · Answer

i did 15 rather than 35

anonymous · Answer

so im confused on how to convert 35 degrees to radians because i get a repeating decimal answer

anonymous · Answer

how do i do it @ganeshie8

anonymous · Answer

$$x^ \circ \times \frac{ \pi }{ 180^\circ }$$ to convert into radians

anonymous · Answer

where x is the given degree

anonymous · Answer

i get a decimal answer on the bottom though so i dont know where to go from there @iambatman

anonymous · Answer

because 35 isnt a factor of 180

anonymous · Answer

$$7\Pi/36$$?

ganeshie8 · Answer

looks good!

anonymous · Answer

That's fine now use $$s=r \theta $$

anonymous · Answer

i got $$105\Pi/36$$

anonymous · Answer

it doesnt look right

ganeshie8 · Answer

$$\large s = r*\theta = 15*\dfrac{35\Pi}{180} = \dfrac{35\Pi}{12}$$

ganeshie8 · Answer

your answer is also correct, 
its just its not fully simplified
