For a circle of radius 600ft, find in degrees the central angle subtended by an arc length of 1,200ft.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use the formula for the arc length

    S = ,


where  r  is the radius of the circle,  is the central angle in radians.


From the formula,

     =  =  = 2 radians = 0.63662031 radians = 114.592 degrees.    ANSWER

Solved.
