If the degree measure of an arc of a circle is increased by
and the radius of the circle is increased by
, we need to determine the percent by which the length of the arc increases.
Let's assume the original degree measure of the arc is
, and the original radius of the circle is
. The length of the arc is given by the formula:

If the degree measure is increased by
, the new degree measure would be
.
If the radius is increased by
, the new radius would be
.
The new length of the arc, denoted as
, can be calculated using the new degree measure and radius:

To determine the percent increase in the length of the arc, we can calculate the percentage difference between the new length
and the original length
:

Now, we can substitute the expressions for
and
into the formula and simplify to determine the percent increase in the length of the arc.
