Answer:

108°

Explanation:

Formula :

Degree Measure = Arc length / radius x 180/π

Solving :

Degree Measure = 3π/5 x 180/π

Degree Measure = 3 x 36

Degree Measure = 108°

Answer:

108°

Explanation:


\textsf{Arc length}=2 \pi r\left((\theta)/(360^(\circ))\right) \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius and}\:\theta\:{\textsf{is the angle in degrees)}

Given:

  • diameter = 10 km ⇒ radius (r) = 5 km
  • Arc length = 3π km

Substituting the given values into the formula and solving for
\theta:


\implies 3 \pi=2 \pi (5)\left((\theta)/(360^(\circ))\right)


\implies 3 =10\left((\theta)/(360^(\circ))\right)


\implies 3 \cdot 360^(\circ) =10\:\theta


\implies \theta=(1080^(\circ))/(10)


\implies \theta={108^(\circ)
