Algebra.Com's Answer #157023 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! An arc of a circle has a measure of 80 degrees and a length of 88pi centemeters. What is the diameter of the circle? \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "The entire circle, 360 degs, has a circumference of 2pi*r \n" ); document.write( "80 degs is 80/360 of the circumference, = 2/9. \n" ); document.write( "So, 2pi*r*2/9 = 88pi \n" ); document.write( "4pi*r/9 = 88pi \n" ); document.write( "r/9 = 22 \n" ); document.write( "r = 198 cm \n" ); document.write( "dia = 396 cm\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
