You are given the circumference of the circle and the measure of the central angle ACB. Find the length of arc AB.circumference = 36 feet; m ZACB= 40"The length of arc AB isfeet

Respuesta :

the length of arc ACB is 4 ft

Explanation

the length of an arc is given by:

[tex]l=\frac{\theta}{360\text{ \degree}}2\text{ }\pi r[/tex]

where l is the length or the arc, theta is the angle in degrees, r is the radius

so

Step 1

find the radius of the circle

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\text{ }\pi r=36 \\ \text{divide boths ides by 2}\pi \\ \frac{2\text{ }\pi r}{2\text{ }\pi}=\frac{36}{2\pi} \\ r=\frac{18}{\pi} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

now, replace in the formula

Let

angle= 40 °

[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\frac{\theta}{360\text{ \degree}}2\text{ }\pi r \\ l=\frac{40}{360\text{ \degree}}2\text{ }\pi(\frac{18}{\pi}) \\ L=\frac{40}{360}\cdot36 \\ l=4\text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore, the length of arc ACB is 4 ft

I hope this helps you
