an arc with a measure of 190 degrees has an arc length of 40 π centimeters. What is the radius of the circle on which the arc sits?

Respuesta :

Answer:

37.89 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc can be calculated using the formula;

[tex]l = \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree} \times 2 \pi \: r[/tex]

The central angle of the sector is given as

[tex] \theta = 190 \degree[/tex]

The arc length is given as l=40π

We want to find the radius of the circle.

We substitute and solve for r.

[tex]40\pi= \frac{190 \degree}{360 \degree} \times 2 \pi \: r[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]40= \frac{19}{18} \times\: r[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{18 \times 40}{19} [/tex]

[tex]r = 37.89[/tex]
