Answer:

The central angle of the arc is 288 degrees

Explanation:

The correct question is

A circle has a circumference of 8. It has an arc of length 32/5 . What is the central angle of the arc,in the degrees?

we know that

The circumference of the circle subtend a central angle of 360 degrees

so

uing a proportion

Find out the central angle for an arc of length 32/5


(8)/(360^o)=((32/5))/(x)\\\\x=360(32/5)/8\\\\x=288^o
