Answer:

2.29 rads

Explanation:

The length of the arc of a circle of radius r is given by;

l = rθ ---------------------------(i)

Where;

l = length of the arc

θ = central angle o that intercepts that arc and measured in radians.

From the question:

l = 16ft

r = 7ft

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

16 = 7θ

Make θ subject of the formula

θ =
(16)/(7)

θ = 2.29

Therefore, the radian measure of the central angle is 2.29 rads
