Algebra.Com's Answer #481711 by KMST(5328)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of an angle in radians is the arc divided by the radius: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "As the small gear rotates through an angle of \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "In the large gear, the point that was originally in contact with the other gear moves the same distance along the circumference of the small gear. \n" ); document.write( "If that distance correspond to an angle measuring \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( "That's \n" ); document.write( " |
