A circle with radius 8 contains an arc length of 6pi. Find the radian measure of the central angle subtended by this arc.
I know you have to use the formula s=r
But, I don\'t know if I am using it wrong, becaus emy answer was 48pi
Solution
Yes we have to use that formula
arc length, s= radius ,r * theta
s= r theta
s=6pi and r=8
Therefore
6pi= 8 theta
theta=6pi/8 = 3pi/4
Therefore the central angle is 3pi/4 radian
