Given:
Central angle = [tex]\dfrac{\pi}{4}[/tex]
Arc length = 1.5 in
To find:
The radius of the circle.
Solution:
We know that the formula for arc length is
[tex]s=r\theta[/tex]
Where r is radius and [tex]\theta [/tex] is the central angle in radian.
Substitute the given values in the above formula.
[tex]1.5=r\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}[/tex]
[tex]6=\pi r[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{6}{\pi}=r[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{6}{3.14}=r[/tex]
On further simplifiation, we get
[tex]r=1.910828[/tex]
[tex]r\approx 1.91[/tex]
Therefore, the radius of the circle is 1.91 in.
