The arc corresponding to a central angle of 125 degrees in a circle of radius 10 feet measures _____ feet. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Verified Answer :

\(\frac{Angle}{360}\) x \(2 \pi r\)

\(\frac{125}{360}\) x \(2 \pi (10)\) = \(21.82\)

Answer: The Arc measures \(21.82 feet\)

Answer:

\(21.82\ ft\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a complete circle is equal to

\(C=2\pi r\)

In this problem we have

\(r=10\ ft\)

substitute

\(C=2\pi (10)=20 \pi\ ft\)

Remember that

An angle of \(360\°\) subtends the arc length of a complete circle

so

by proportion

Find the arc length for an angle of \(125\°\)

\(\frac{20 \pi}{360}\frac{feet}{degrees}=\frac{x}{125}\frac{feet}{degrees}\\ \\x=125*(20\pi )/360\\ \\x=21.82\ ft\)
