For a circle of radius 8 ft, find the arc length of a central angle of 6°

The formula for arc length is s = r * theta, where theta is the central angle

in radians (not degrees).


Converting that 6° central angle to radians,


pi rads pi rads

(6°) * ------------- = -------------- = 0.1047 rads

180° 30


Then the arc length here is s = r * theta, or s = (8 ft)(0.1047 rads) = 0.838 ft
