Circle O shown below has a radius of 25 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch, determine the length of the arc, x, subtended by an angle of 2.2 radians.Answer: □ inches
Q. Circle O shown below has a radius of 25 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch, determine the length of the arc, x, subtended by an angle of 2.2 radians.Answer: □ inches
Identify Formula: Identify the formula to calculate the length of an arc in a circle.The length of an arc s in a circle is given by the formula s=rθ, where r is the radius of the circle and θ is the central angle in radians.
Plug Given Values: Plug the given values into the formula to calculate the length of the arc.Given: r=25 inches, θ=2.2 radianss=rθ=25 inches ∗2.2 radians
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the length of the arc. s=25 inches ∗2.2 radians =55 inches
Correct Multiplication: Step 3 (Correction): Perform the correct multiplication to find the length of the arc. s=25 inches ∗2.2=55 inches
Round Result: Round the result to the nearest tenth of an inch as requested.The length of the arc, to the nearest tenth, is 55.0 inches.
