l= rθ
Here θ = 75 * π/180 (Converting degrees into radian)
r= l/θ
= 75/ 75/180 π
= 180/π
= 57.3 approximately.

What is the relation between the arc length and angle for a sector of a circle?
A sector is the area enclosed by two radii of a circle and their intercepted arc, and the angle that is formed by these radii, is called a central angle. A central angle is measured by its intercepted arc. It has the same number of degrees as the arc it intercepts. For example, a central angle which is a right angle intercepts a 90 degrees arc; a 30 degrees central angle intercepts a 30 degrees arc, and a central angle which is a straight angle intercepts a semicircle of 180 degrees. Whereas, an inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides are chords. An inscribed angle is also measured by its intercepted arc. But, it has one half of the number of degrees of the arc it intercepts. For example, an inscribed angle which is a right angle intercepts a 180 degrees arc. So, we can say that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle; a 30 degrees inscribed angle intercepts a 60 degrees arc. In the same or congruent circles, congruent inscribed angles have congruent intercepted arcs.

The radial length equals the chord length at a central angle of 60 degrees.
How do you find the length of the arc of a circle with only the measurement of the central angle and the Circumference?
The entire circumference has a central angle of 360 degrees. The arc is a fraction of the circumference. The fraction is (central angle) divided by (360). So the arc length is: (circumference) x (central angle) / (360) .

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.

What is the central angle of a circle with a circumference of 9 and arc length of 1?
2pi/9 radians or 40 degrees
How do you find the degree measure of a central angle in a circle if both the radius and the length of the intercepted arc are known?
-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees
Is it possible for an arc with a central angle of 30 degrees in one circle to have a greater arc length than an arc with a central angle of 150 degrees in another circle?
It is certainly possible. All you need is a the second circle to have a radius which is less than 20% of the radius of the first.
Application of relation between arc of length and central angle?
The relation between the arc of length and the central angle is that the arc of length divided by one of the sides is the central angle in radians. If the arc is a full circle, then the central angle is 2pi radians or 360 degrees.
Relationship between degree of measure of a central angle and the arc it intercepts?
Arc length is equal to radius times the angle the arc subtends (makes) at the centre of the circle, but the angle needs to be in radians. Set your calculator to radians instead of degrees, or, to change degrees to radians, divide by 180 and times pi. The formula comes from the fact that the length of the arc is proportional to the circumference of the circle in the same ratio as the angle at the centre is to the complete revolution at the centre, so length of arc: circumference of circle = angle size : 360o arc/(2*pi*r) = angle in degrees/360 or angle in radians/(2*pi) so arc length is angle in degrees divided by 360, times the circumference of the circle. Answer will be in the same measurement unit as the radius.
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.
What is the measure of the central angle of a circle with the arc length of 29.21 and the circumference of 40.44?
arc length/circumference = central angle/2*pi (radians) So, central angle = 2*pi*arc length/circumference = 4.54 radians. Or, since 2*pi radians = 360 degrees, central angle = 360*arc length/circumference = 260.0 degrees, approx.
What is the length of an arc of a circle?
The length of an arc of a circle refers to the product of the central angle and the radius of the circle.
