Best Answer

360 / 78.2 = 4.60 - Gives the number of "slices of pie" of this size in the entire circle

4.60 * 12 = 55.245 - Gives circumference of the circle

radius = circumference / 2pi

radius = 55.245 / 6.283 = 8.79

How do you find radius of a circle if given arc length?

you will need to know the angle subtended by the arc; arc length = radius x angle in radians


How do you find the radius when the arc length IS GIVEN?

You also need the measure of the central angle because arc length/2pi*r=measure of central angle/360.


How does one calculate arc length when given the radius and angle measure in degrees?

To find the arc length given the radius and angle measure in degrees, you must first convert the angle from degrees to radians, using the formula: Degrees = Radians X (pi/180). Then take the radians and the radius that you are given, and put them into the formula of Q = (a/r) where Q is the angle in radians, a is the arc length, and r is the radius. When you have this, simple multiply both sides by the radius to isolate the a. Once you do this, you have your answer.


An arc of a circle that is 6Cm in length intercepts a central angle of 1.5 radians find the number of Cm in the radius of the circle?

An arc of length 6cm subtending an angle at the centre of 1.5c is equivalent to the whole circle of length 2πr subtending 2π radians. Therefore, 6/1.5 = 2πr/2π = r : Then r = 4 cm. NOTE : A radian can be defined as the angle at the centre of a circle subtended by an arc equal in length to the radius. So an arc subtending an angle of 2 radians is twice the length of the radius. An arc subtending an angle of 1.5 radians is thus 11/2 times as long as the radius.


The perimeter of a rhombus is 40cm and the length of one diagonal is 16cm find the length of the other diagonal?

The length of the other diagonal works out as 12cm
