SOLUTION: A point moves on a circular path with a radius of 4 units. If the point covers an arc of 8 units, find the angle in radians made by the arc at the center of the circular path.

Question 841594: A point moves on a circular path with a radius of 4 units. If the point covers an arc of 8 units, find the angle in

-------
Formula:: arc length = (angle in radians)*(radius)
------
Your Problem:: 8 = angle*4
angle in radians = 8/4 = 2
