We have a formula of finding the arc length, s = θr, where s is the length of the intercepted arc, θ is the central angle measured in radians, and r is the radius of the circle.
So that we need to convert 50 degrees in radians.
1 degrees = pi/180 radians
50 degrees = 50(pi/180) radians = 5pi/18 radians
s = θr (replace θ with 5pi/18, and r with 3.5)
s = (5pi/18)(3.5) = (17.5/18) pi ≈ 3
Thus, the length of the arc is about 3.
Measure the distance from the centre of the circle to its circumference.
The radius of a circle is any straight line from the centre of the circle to its circumference. The radius can also refer to the length of this line.
The answer depends on what information you are given. If you know the circumference, then divide by Pi and that is the diameter. Half of the diameter is the radius. If you don't know anything about the circle, you would need to measure and find the diameter.
The area of a sector of a circle with radius 12 and arc length 10pi is: 188.5 square units.
you will need to know the angle subtended by the arc; arc length = radius x angle in radians
Measure the diametre of the circle and divide by two to give the radius.
You can either measure it, or calculate it if you know the diameter (radius = diameter / 2), or the circumference (radius = circumference / (2pi)).
Unless the chord is the diameter, there is no way to measure the radius of the circle. This is because the radius is in no way dependent on chord length since circles have infinite amount of chord lengths.
-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees
measure it
radius = diameter/2
It is the same length from the centre to any point on the circumference so just measure it
The radius of a circle is half the diameter.
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line drawn through the center of the circle to its edges.Or, measure the circumference of the circle and divide by pi (3.14159).Or you can multiply the radius times twoTo get diameter you have to find the radius and then double it to get the diameter
With a ruler, or other suitable length measuring device. Measure the diameter (the widest part of the circle). The radius is half the diameter.
The radius of a circle is half its diameter (the measure of the circle from one side across to the other).
The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.
