Answer:

330°

Explanation:

The central angle:

360°×
(11)/(12)

=30°×11

=330°

Answer: 330⁰

Explanation:

Circumference (C) = 2π · radius(r)

12 = 2π·r


(6)/(\pi)=r

Arc length (s) = radius(r) · θ (reminder that theta is in radians)


11=(6)/(\pi)\cdot \theta\\


(11\pi)/(6)=\theta

To convert radians to degrees, use the proportion: π = 180⁰


(\pi)/(180)=(11\pi)/(6x)\\\\6x(\pi)=180(11\pi)\\\\x=(180(11\pi))/(6\pi)\\\\x=30(11)\\\\x=330
