A circle is centered at the vertex of an angle, and the angle's rays subtend an arc that is 86 cm long. 1/360th of the circumference of the circle is 0.5 cm long. What is the measure of this angle in degrees?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore the measure of this angle is [tex]=(\frac{43}{90} )^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a circle is centered at the vertex of an angle  and the angle's rays subtend an arc that is 86 cm long.

0.5 cm arc make an angle [tex]\frac{1}{360}[/tex]

1 cm arc make an angle [tex]\frac{1}{360\times 0.5}[/tex]

86 cm arc make an angle [tex]\frac{86}{360\times 0.5}[/tex]

                                         [tex]=(\frac{43}{90} )^\circ[/tex]

Therefore the measure of this angle is [tex]=(\frac{43}{90} )^\circ[/tex]

A circle is centered at the vertex of an angle, and the angle's rays subtend an arc that is 86 cm long. The measure of this angle in degrees is 172°

From the given information:

  • 1/360th of the circumference of the circle is 0.5 cm long

The total circumference of the circle now will be:

= 360 × 0.5 cm

= 180 cm

However, if a total circumference of 180 cm is equivalent to an angle of 360°;

Then, an angle that subtends with 86 cm long will be:

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{86 \ cm }{180 \ cm } \times 360^0 }[/tex]

= 172°

Therefore, the measure of this angle is 172°
