Question

Please help meeeee

The measure of a central angle is 18°. If the length of its intercepted arc is xπ units, what is the circumference of the circle?
A.( x/20)π units
B. (x/18)π units
C. (x/10)π units
D. 18xπ square units
E. 20xπ square units

Answer 1

20xπ units

Explanation:

Use the formula for the length of an arc.

θ/360 × 2πr

The length of the arc and the central angle is already given.

18/360 × 2πr = xπ

Solve for r.

r = (xπ)/(18/360)/(2π)

r = 10x

The radius is 10x.

The circumference is 2πr.

2π(10x)

20xπ

The circumference of the circle is 20xπ units.
