ready
you could use proportions to find C (the circumference) 9/135 = C/360
once you know C, you can find r using C = 2pi r
Well I ust solved for C and got 24
ok, next use C = 2 pi r you know C is 24 24 = 2 pi r divide both sides by 2pi or by 2 then by pi
well 24/2 is 12
12/pi is 3.82165
looks good r= 3.82
units squared?
Here is the formula for the length of an arc of circle, where s = length of the arc, n = measure of central angle, and r = radius of the circle. \(s = \dfrac{n}{360^\circ}2 \pi r\) You know s and n. Plug in those values in the formula above and solve for r.
you are finding the length of a radius that is the length of a "line" (not area)
in other words, just "units" (of distance)
OKay so just 3.82 units
yes. units for lengths, squared units for area (I remember a "square" has the shape of area)
BTW, the units are cm, since the arc length is given in cm.
