The arc length of a sector of a circle is 8π cm. If the circle has a radius 20π cm, what is the measure of the central angle of the sector?
-----------
Circumference of the circle = 2(pi)r = 2(pi)(20pi) = 40pi^2 cm
-------------------------------
Let measure of centeral angle be "x":
Solve:
x/20pi = 360/40pi^2
----------
x = (20pi)[360/40pi^2]
---
x = 180/pi degrees ~ 57.30 degrees
