Question

Consider circle Y with radius 3 m and central angle XYZ measuring 70°. What is the approximate length of minor arc XZ? Round to the nearest tenth of a meter. meters

Answer 1

its 3.7

Explanation:

Answer 2

Use formula for the length of the arc:

`\text{Arc Length} = (\theta\cdot (\pi)/(180^(\circ))) \cdot r`, where
`\theta` is central angle.

Substitute
`\theta` and r=3 into formula:

`\text{Arc Length} = (\theta\cdot (\pi)/(180^(\circ))) \cdot r=(70^(\circ)\cdot (\pi)/(180^(\circ)))\cdot 3=(7)/(6)\pi`.

Answer:
`\text{Arc Length} =(7)/(6)\pi`.
