Answer: 304.6°

Explanation:

First of all, using the circumference of the circle formula to find the radius of the circle.

Circumference of the circle = 13, ie

2πr = 13,

r = 13/2π ---------------------------- 1

Now getting the radius of the circle now, you now substitute for this in the formula for finding the length of an arc to get the central angle.

Arc length = 11 , ( 2πr0°/360) or (πr0°/180), so

πr0°/180 = 11 ------------------------ 2

Now solve for 0°, the central angle of the angle by making it the subject of the formula.

πr0° = 180 x 11

0° = 180 x 11

----------- ----------------- 3

πr

Now, put equation 1 in equation 3 and solve.

0° = 1980

--------

π x 13/2π

= 1980 x 2π

-----------

π.x. 13

= 1980 x 2

----------

13

= 3960/13

= 304.6°

Therefore, the central angle of the arc is 304.6°

Please be meticulous and understand the way I change the r in the denominator. It was the rule in fraction when dividing.
