Question 1142405: The arc of a circle of radius 8 is 10, find the measurement of the corresponding central angle.
r = 8
s = 10
theta = s/r
10/8 = 1.25 Answer by ikleyn(52794) (Show Source):
In this problem, the units for measures of "r" and "s" must be consistent: centimeter and centimeter; or inch and inch, and so on.
Then you obtain your angle in radians.
Your answer is correct: = 1.25 radians.
