Math Problem Statement
Select the correct answer.
A circle has a radius of 22 centimeters. Arc XY has a length of 665π centimeters. What is the radian measure of the corresponding central angle? 45π 25π 23π
Solution
To find the radian measure of the central angle corresponding to an arc, you can use the formula:
Where:
- is the central angle in radians,
- is the length of the arc,
- is the radius of the circle.
Given:
- The radius cm,
- The arc length cm.
Substitute these values into the formula:
Now, simplifying:
This is approximately 30.227, not one of the answer choices.
