The length of an arc on a circle of radius 16, with an arc angle of 60 degrees is about 16.8.

The circumference of the circle is 2 pi r, or about 100.5. 60 degrees of a circle is one sixth of the circle, so the arc is one sixth of 100.5, or 16.8.

A central angle of a circle of radius 30 cm intercepts an arc of 6 cm Express the central angle in radians and in degrees?

A central angle is measured by its intercepted arc. Let's denote the length of the intercepted arc with s, and the length of the radius r. So, s = 6 cm and r = 30 cm. When a central angle intercepts an arc whose length measure equals the length measure of the radius of the circle, this central angle has a measure 1 radian. To find the angle in our problem we use the following relationship: measure of an angle in radians = (length of the intercepted arc)/(length of the radius) measure of our angle = s/r = 6/30 = 1/5 radians. Now, we need to convert this measure angle in radians to degrees. Since pi radians = 180 degrees, then 1 radians = 180/pi degrees, so: 1/5 radians = (1/5)(180/pi) degrees = 36/pi degrees, or approximate to 11.5 degrees.

Find the lenght of a chord that cuts off an arc of measure 60 degrees in a circle of radius 12?

The radial length equals the chord length at a central angle of 60 degrees.


How do you find the radius of a circle if the central angle is 36 degrees and the arc length of the sector is 2 pi cm?

The measure of the central angle divided by 360 degrees equals the arc length divided by circumference. So 36 degrees divided by 360 degrees equals 2pi cm/ 2pi*radius. 1/10=1/radius. Radius=10 cm.

How do you divide circle in 8 equals parts?

You divide 360 degrees by eight (there are 360 degrees in a circle) so each section would be 45 degrees.

What is the length of the arc on a circle of radius r equals 5 yards intercepted by a central angle theta equals 70 degrees?

To work out the length of the arc on a circle, you need to work out the proportion of the full circle that the arc represents. This is the proportion of the circumference of the circle. The circumference of a circle is 2 times pi times radius or 2{pi}r A full circle has 360o so an arc created between 2 radii with an angle of ao between them has a length that is a/360 that of the full circle, ie length of arc = 2{pi}ra/360 Thus, for a circle of radius r=5yds and angle=72o, the length of the arc is: 2x{pi}x5x72/360 = 2x{pi}x5x1/5 = 2x{pi} ~= 6.28yds


The measure of an angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle equals?

The measure of the angle formed by two secants intersecting outside the circle is one-half the difference of the intercepted arcs. Example: Major intercepted arc is 200o and the minor intercepted arc is 120o. 1/2 (200-120) = 40o ... The measurement of the angle formed by the two secants is 40o. I HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOU :))


If you have a circle and the measure of the arc AB equals 80 and the measure of arc CE equals 16 which is the measure of EDC?

Why do all the sections in a full circle have to equal 360 degrees?

I think it's because 360 degrees always equals 100%.
