radian(s)
(Type your answer in radians. Round to the nearest hundredth as needed.
Solution
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of using a calculator and express the answer in radians, rounded to two decimal places.
Steps:
- Calculate the arccosine: Use the inverse cosine function on a calculator.
- Round the result: After computing the value, round the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Solution:
Using a calculator:
So, the answer is approximately 1.27 radians.
