In circle P, BC=24. What is the length of arc AC? class=

Verified Answer :

the length of arc AC = 30 BC/2= 3012=360
AC = 360

For this case we have that by definition the arc length is given by:
\(S = \frac {\alpha} {360} 2 \pi r\)

Where,

  • α: central angle
  • r: radius of the circle

Then, replacing values we have:

\(S = \frac {30} {360} 2 \pi (12)\\S = 6.28\)

Answer:

The length of the AC arc is given by:

\(S = 6.28\)
