In the figure above, the circle has a circumference of 12 straight pi. If the angle at the center of the circle has a measurement of 60 degree, what is the length of the arc created by the angle?

Respuesta :

The formula for arc length which is measured in units not degrees is [tex] \frac{ \beta }{360} *2 \pi r[/tex].  Our central angle is 60 and our radius is 6.  Of course the 2 pi r in our formula is already given to us as 12 pi.  So we sub in accordingly: [tex] \frac{60}{360}*12 \pi [/tex] and when you do that math and multiply in pi, you get that the arc length that is intercepted by that 60 degree angle is 6.28 units.
