I hope this helps you




Arc length = central angle/360.2pi.r


7/3pi=?/360.2pi.6


?=7.10


?=70

Answer:

70 degree

Explanation:

Length of the arc formula = circumference of the circle * central angle / 360

circumference of the circle formula =
2\pi r

where r is the radius of the circle, given radius = 6


(7\pi)/(3)=2 \pi * 6* (angle)/(360)


(7\pi)/(3)=12\pi* (angle)/(360)

divide by 12 pi on both sides


(7)/(36)=(angle)/(360)

Now we multiply both sides by 360

So angle = 70 degrees
