OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

A circular ring of radius 6 inches is reshaped into an arch of a circle of radius 4 feet Show that this arch subtends 45 degrees at the centre..

hartnn (hartnn):

how do you convert inches to feet?

hartnn (hartnn):

i mean whats your attemp at this question?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

I converted 6 inches into 2 feet. calculated the are and perimeter of the circle.

hartnn (hartnn):

6 inches is 2 feet? or 0.5 feet?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Whoops! I made a calculation error. I took 12 on the other side. So 12 times x = 6 times 1 so x = 0.5?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

what next?

hartnn (hartnn):

so, entire circle radius is 0.5 feet. what part of the circle will correspond to arc of 4 feet?

hartnn (hartnn):

its like 0.5 --> 360 degrees 4 ----> x degrees

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

Isn't the radius of the circle 4 feet?

hartnn (hartnn):

radius of the arc is 4 feet
