The circle has center O, and the measure of angle ∠POQ is 45%. The length of minor arc AC is what fraction of the circumference of the circle? The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360.
Q. The circle has center O, and the measure of angle ∠POQ is 45%. The length of minor arc AC is what fraction of the circumference of the circle? The number of degrees of arc in a circle is 360.
Understand Relationship: Understanding the relationship between the central angle and arc length.The length of an arc is proportional to the measure of the central angle that subtends it. Since the measure of angle POQ is 45 degrees, the arc AC subtended by this angle is 36045 of the entire circumference of the circle.
Calculate Fraction: Calculating the fraction of the circumference that arc AC represents.To find the fraction of the circumference that arc AC represents, we divide the measure of the angle POQ by the total number of degrees in a circle.Fraction of circumference = Measure of angle POQ / Total degrees in a circleFraction of circumference = Total degrees in a circleMeasure of angle POQFraction of circumference = 360 degrees45 degreesFraction of circumference = 81
