find the length of arc AB
|dw:1452992468957:dw|
You wanna solve it in radians or degrees?
what do u mean
Well do you know what radians are and how to use them?
i know cm , m , km and 1 radian =pi/180
Well then \[\large \sf Arc=r\theta\] Just use theta in radians
but i have read a formula that arc=2*pi*r*\theta /(360)
That is if you have theta in degrees. That is why I asked at the beginning, so I would know what formula to give you. Radians is easier, but both are valid and it is your preference in which one to use
\(\Large \sf Arc=\dfrac{2\pi r\times \theta^{\circ} }{360^{\circ}}\)
which one is correct if it is not given abt radians
\[\large \sf 5\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2}{6} \pi 5\] They are both correct
You can use either formula and you will get the same answer, just use the theta as 60 degrees or pi/3 radians
thank
ye no prob
