For a circle with a diameter of 6 meters, what is the measurement of a central angle (in degrees) subtended by an arc with a length of 7 3 π meters?

Respuesta :

Answer : The measurement of a central angle is, [tex]140^o[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used for angle subtended by an arc is:

[tex]s=\frac{\pi r\theta}{180}[/tex]

where,

s = arc length = [tex]\frac{7}{3}\pi m[/tex]

r = radius = [tex]\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{6m}{2}=3m[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]s=\frac{\pi r\theta}{180}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7}{3}\pi=\frac{\pi \times (3)\times \theta}{180}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =140^o[/tex]

Thus, the measurement of a central angle is, [tex]140^o[/tex]
