Question 604277: Find the degree measure, to the nearest tenth, of the central angle whose intercepted arc measures 20 inches in a circle whose radius is 12 inches.
I have done problems where you find the central andgle, radius, or length of the arc and understand...but this question is confusing me. Thanks for your help!

the circumference of the circle is 24pi

20 is the part of the circumference intercepted by the central angle

so ___ 20 / (24pi) = x / 360º
