A circular arc of length 4 feet subtends a central angle of 180° degrees. Find the radius of the circle in feet.
where,
= central angle and = radius of the circle.

,.... but to be RADIANS
° => radians



or this way:
thus,

=>
=>
=>
=
or this way:
where angle is
(x*pi/180)



=

A circular arc of length 4 feet subtends a central angle of 180o. Find the radius r of the circle.
***
, s=arc, r=radius, theta=central angle(radians)
180˚=π radians
4=rπ
r=4/π ft
