Answer:


\theta = (4\pi)/(3)

Explanation:

Given

Let A represent the Length of Arc CD and C, represents the circumference


A = (2)/(3) C

Required

Find the central angle (in radians)

The length of arc CD in radians is as follows;


A = r\theta

Where r is the radius and
\theta is the measure of central angle

The circumference of a circle is calculated as thus;


C = 2\pi r

From the question, it was stated that the arc length is 2-3rd of the circumference;

This means that


A = (2)/(3) C

Substitute
2\pi r for C and
r\theta for A


A = (2)/(3) C becomes


r\theta = (2)/(3) * 2\pi r


r\theta = (4\pi r)/(3)

Divide both sides by r


(r\theta)/(r) = (4\pi r)/(3)/r


(r\theta)/(r) = (4\pi r)/(3) * (1)/(r)


\theta = (4\pi r)/(3) * (1)/(r)


\theta = (4\pi)/(3)

Hence, the measure of the central angle;
\theta = (4\pi)/(3)
