Answer:

60°

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Circumference (C) = 6 units
  • Arc length (A) = 1 unit

Find the central angle (θ)

Arc is some part of circumference; thus,

the equation of arc length =

A = θ/360 × C

θ/360 = A/C

θ = (360×A)/C

θ = (360×1)/6

θ = 360 ÷ 6

θ = 60° ✅

Central angle = 60°
