OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

okay so arc length/ circumference = arc measure/360

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

arc length = x because it is unknown

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

arc measure = 72

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

@mjdennis I did reply but you did not answer

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Sorry, computer locked up. There are 360° in a circle: this picture might help|dw:1465577465749:dw|

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

so we have to find the circumference which is 2*pi*r

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

your radius is 5 so put that in as r

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

2*pi*5

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

31.4

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

so now put that back into the first equation: arc length/ circumference = arc measure/360

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

arc length/ 31.4 = arc measure/360

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

arc length/ circumference = 72/360

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

sorry i meant arc length/ 31.4 = 72/360

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

can you solve for arc length yourself now?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

well 31.4/360 is 0.2

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

you mean 72/360=0.2

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

a/31.4=0.2 a = 6.28

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

so the answer is 6.28

OpenStudy (thatemokid66):

yeah, im pretty sure

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

@mjdennis can you confirm

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Where's your work? If you think he isn't right, show us why.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Well, you explain it better could we go back to the first one, I'll tag you in it

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

I gott the answer to this thank you everyone

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Don't forget you said "will medal for sure". @ThatEmoKid66 did a lot of work.
