a ball is rolling in a circular path that has a radius of 10 inches.
what distance has the ball rolled when the subtended arc is 54 degrees?
:
Find the circumference
C =
C = 62.83 in, that would be the distance if it rolled all the way around the circular path (360 degrees).
It only rolled 54 degrees, therefore
* 62.83 = 9.42 inches
