To find the measure of a central angle in a circle using the radius, you can use the formula for arc length or the relationship between the radius and the angle in radians. The formula for arc length ( s ) is given by ( s = r \theta ), where ( r ) is the radius and ( \theta ) is the central angle in radians. Rearranging this formula, you can find the angle by using ( \theta = \frac{s}{r} ) if you know the arc length. In degrees, you can convert radians by multiplying by ( \frac{180}{\pi} ).
If the central angle is 70 and the radius is 8cm, how do you find out the chord lenght?
If the radius is 8cm and the central angle is 70, how do yu workout the chord lenght?
If three central angles measures 65, 87, and 112, find the measure of the fourth central angle.
Well, in degrees, the arc is congruent to its central angle. If the radius is given, however, just find the circumference of the circle (C=πd). Then, take the measure of the central angle, and divide that by 360 degrees. Multiply the circumference by the dividend, and you will get the arc length. This works because it is a proportion. Circumference:Arc length::Total degrees in triangle:Arc's central angle. Hope that helped. :D
The answer depends on what information you do have: radius, arc length, central angle etc.
You also need the measure of the central angle because arc length/2pi*r=measure of central angle/360.
If the central angle is 70 and the radius is 8cm, how do you find out the chord lenght?
-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees
the measure of the inscribed angle is______ its corresponding central angle
If the radius is 8cm and the central angle is 70, how do yu workout the chord lenght?
(arc length / (radius * 2 * pi)) * 360 = angle
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.
If three central angles measures 65, 87, and 112, find the measure of the fourth central angle.
If the sector of a circle has a central angle of 50 and an area of 605 cm2, the radius is: 37.24 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.
Well, in degrees, the arc is congruent to its central angle. If the radius is given, however, just find the circumference of the circle (C=πd). Then, take the measure of the central angle, and divide that by 360 degrees. Multiply the circumference by the dividend, and you will get the arc length. This works because it is a proportion.
