If the length of an arc of a circle is 3.14 units, and its radius is 6 units, find the central angle (in degrees) subtended by the arc.
Added by Melissa D.
Step 1
The formula is: Central angle = (Arc length / Circumference) * 360 The circumference of a circle is given by the formula 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is 6 units, so the circumference is 2 * π * 6 = 12π units. Show more…
