Question

A circle has a circumference of 6. It has an arc of length 1. What is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?​

Answer 1

60 degrees

Explanation:

1.) Figure out which portion of the circle that the arc is. Since the total circumference is 6, and the arc is 1, that means that the arc is 1/6 of the circle.

2.) Now, figure out the measure of the angle. Since the total angle measure in a circle is 360 degrees, we multiply 1/6*360 to figure out the measure. This is equal to 60 degrees.

Answer 2

60 degrees

Explanation:

The arc length is 1/6th of the total ....the angle will be 1/6th of the total 360° of the circle

1/6th X 360 = 60 °
