Find the length s of the arc that subtends a central angle of measure 50° in a circle of radius 15 m. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Added by Mary B.
Step 1
However, in this problem, we are given the central angle in degrees, so we need to convert it to radians first: θ = 50° = (50/180)π radians ≈ 0.87 radians Now we can plug in the values we know: s = (15 m)(0.87) ≈ 13.05 m Show more…
