Answer:


r = (5)/(3)

Explanation:

The formula to find the arc length of a circle is:


\boxed{\begin{array}{l}\underline{\sf Arc\; length}\\\\\textsf{Arc length $=r \theta$}\\\\\textsf{where:}\\\phantom{ww}\bullet\; \textsf{$r$ is the radius.}\\ \phantom{ww}\bullet\;\textsf{$\theta$ is the angle measured in radians.}\end{array}}

Given values:


\textsf{Arc length}=(5\pi)/(2)


\theta=(3\pi)/(2)

To find the radius, substitute the given values into the formula:


(5\pi)/(2)=r \cdot (3\pi)/(2)

Now, solve for r by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2/3π:


(5\pi)/(2)\cdot (2)/(3\pi)=r \cdot (3\pi)/(2) \cdot (2)/(3\pi)


r=(5\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\pi)/(\diagup\!\!\!\!\!2)\cdot (\diagup\!\!\!\!\!2)/(3\diagup\!\!\!\!\!\pi)


r = (5)/(3)

Therefore, the radius of the provided circle is:


\Large\boxed{\boxed{r = (5)/(3)}}
