Vocaloid:

part I is arc length = radius * central angle [where central angle is in radians] then for part II just solve for the central angle

Vocaloid:

[it's kind of hard to tell but I would estimate the radius as 6]

Vocaloid:

(or maybe it's 6.28? 2pi? :S)

zarkam21:

6*15

zarkam21:

90

Vocaloid:

(actually I'm going to go out on a limb and say the radius is actually 2pi since it looks greater than 6) anyway, arc length is already given as 15, radius is 2pi, so 15 = (theta) * (2pi) solve for theta

zarkam21:

2.39

Vocaloid:

good but let's leave it in terms of pi, theta = 15/(2pi) radians for part II

zarkam21:

wait like this.

Vocaloid:

then, for part III, remember our conversion from earlier, radians to degrees you would multiply by (180/pi) so 15/(2pi) * (180/pi) then round to the nearest 2 decimal places

zarkam21:

Part I: State the equation that relates arc length to central angle. (4 points) Part II: Find the angle in radians. (4 points) theta = 15/(2pi) r Part III: Convert your answer to degrees and write it to the nearest hundredth of a degree. (4 points)

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

part I is arc length = radius * central angle

Vocaloid:

yes (to be mathematically succinct you could probably replace radius with r and central angle with the theta symbol)

Vocaloid:

so arc length = rθ

Vocaloid:

(make sure to specify θ must be in radians)

zarkam21:

okay

Vocaloid:

zarkam21:

1350/pi^2

Vocaloid:

good but they want it to 2 decimal places, so 1350/pi^2 as a decimal would be 136.78 = your ans
