SOLUTION: The arc of a circle of radius 8 is 10, find the measurement of the corresponding central angle. r = 8 s = 10 theta = s/r 10/8 = 1.25

Question 1142405: The arc of a circle of radius 8 is 10, find the measurement of the corresponding central angle.
r = 8
s = 10
theta = s/r
10/8 = 1.25

In this problem, the units for measures of "r" and "s" must be consistent: centimeter and centimeter;  or inch and inch, and so on.


Then you obtain your angle in radians.


Your answer is correct:   = 1.25 radians.

remember : RADIANS (!)
