An arc of length 3.5 miles on a circle with radius 5.5 miles is subtended by a central angle M find the value of M
Answer in radians rounded to hundredths place:
Answer i ndecimal degrees , rounded to tenths place:
Solution
arc length = 3.5 miles
radius = 5.5 miles
arc length = radius * central angle
central angle = arc length / radius
= 3.5 / 5.5
= 0.6363
= 0.63 radians
or 0.6 in decimals
