Here is the formula:


(s)/(angle) = (r)/(1)

s = arc length

r = radius

angle = angle, but in radian form which is what the problem originally gave you so you don't have to do any conversions

so...


((10\pi )/(3) )/((2\pi )/(3) ) = (?)/(1)

Then cross multiply and you get...


(10\pi )/(3) =(2\pi )/(3) x

Multiply
(3)/(2\pi ) to both sides to isolate x and you will get...

5 = r

The radius is 5

Hope this helped!
