1 In a circle with radius 19 find length of the arc spanned
1. In a circle with radius 19, find length of the arc spanned by a central angle of pi/6 radians.
2. convert radians to degrees 5pi/3.
Solution
1) radius = 19 units
Arc length spanned by central angle = (pi/6 / 2pi)*circumference
= (pi/6 / 2pi)*2pi*radius
= pi*19/6 = 19pi/6 = 9.948 units
2) Radians to degree:
1 radian = (180/pi) deg
So, 5pi/3 radians = (180/pi)*5pi/3
= 180*5/3 =300 deg
