Question 1005162: A race-car starts at the 3 o'clock position and drives counterclockwise on a circular track with a radius 2.9 miles.
How many miles above the horizontal diameter is the car when the angle swept out has a measure of 2.9 radians?
Please answer and explain, thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2.9*sin(2.9) and the angle measure is still in radians.

0.69 miles above the diameter.


If you wish, 2.9%2Asin%282.9%2A360%2F%282%2Api%29%29, if you want to use degree measure for the given angle.
