@Jadeishere

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

I'm not the best person to ask about math and circles! So sorry @agent0smith

OpenStudy (maemae16):

its ok

OpenStudy (maemae16):

i don't even have a clue on how to do this

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

How many degrees in a circle? Find 7/10ths of that

OpenStudy (periodicninja):

why didnt you screenshot the whole screen?

OpenStudy (maemae16):

i did but it had two drop down menus both of them wouldn't stay down while i was trying to take the screenshot

OpenStudy (maemae16):

@agent0smith \[360^o\]

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Right, but: How many degrees in a circle? Find 7/10ths of that

OpenStudy (maemae16):

how do i do that

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

'of' means multiply in "Find 7/10ths of that"

OpenStudy (maemae16):

ok so its \[252^o\]

OpenStudy (maemae16):

@agent0smith

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. 7/10 of 360 = 7/10 * 360 = 252

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Your part 1 is correct.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A full circle is 360 deg. in angle measure. How many radians of angle measure is a full circle?

OpenStudy (maemae16):

idk i still haven't figured out the whole radians thing

OpenStudy (maemae16):

@PeriodicNinja can you help me with the second part

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. I will explain. Start with a circle with radius 1.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1467132593956:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There you have a circle of radius 1. Using the standard formula for the circumference of a circle, can you tell me what the exact circumference of the circle above is?

OpenStudy (maemae16):

ummm this is something I've never been taught before

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You have never learned the circumference of a circle?

OpenStudy (maemae16):

i have but it was like 3 years ago and i haven't had to use it since i learned it

OpenStudy (maemae16):

my question just timed out

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The circumference of a circle is the length of the path along a full circle. Its formula is \(\large C = 2 \pi r\) where \(\pi\) is a Greek letter called "pi" (pronounced "pie" in English). \(\pi\) is an irrational number, a never-ending, never-repeating decimal approximately equal to 3.14. and \(r\) is the radius of the circle.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The circumference of a circle of radius 1 unit is \(C = 2 \pi (1) = 2 \pi\) A radian is a unit of angle measure such that an angle of 1 radian produces an arc 1 unit long on the unit circle. Since a full circle is an arc \(2\pi\) units long on the unit circle, then a full circle has a radian measure of \(2\pi\) radians.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Memorize this: The angle measure for a full circle is: 360 degrees \(2\pi \) radians

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now your questions: 7/10 of a full circle is \(\dfrac{7}{10} \times 360 \) in degrees (which we already know is 252 degrees) \(\dfrac{7}{10} \times 2 \pi \) in radians Now multiply (7/10) by \(2\pi\)
