An arc of length 12 meters is formed by a central angle A on a circle of radius 9. The measure of A in degrees is what? 42.97 1.30 8.38 76.39

Respuesta :

arc/(2πr)=α/360

α=360*arc/(2πr)

α=180*arc/(πr), since arc=12 and r=12

α=2160/(9π)°

α=240/π°

α≈76.39° (to nearest one-hundredth of a degree)

Answer:

Option 4th is correct

76.39 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length(l) is given by:

[tex]l =r \theta[/tex]            .....[1]

where, r is the radius of the circle and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the central angle in radian

As per the statement:

An arc of length 12 meters is formed by a central angle A on a circle of radius 9

⇒l = 12 meters and r = 9 meter

substitute the given values in [1] we have;

[tex]12 = 9A[/tex]

Divide both sides by 9 we have;

[tex]\frac{12}{9} =A[/tex]

Use conversion:

1 radian = 57.2958 degree

then;

[tex]\frac{12}{9}[/tex] radian = 76.3943998 degree.

⇒[tex]A = 76.39^{\circ}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of angle A in degree is, 76.39
