Find the number of degrees subtended at the centre of a 
circle by an arc whose length is 0.357 times the radius.



By definition the angle q in radians (not degrees) is
given by:

theta%22%22=%22%22s%2Fr%22%22=%22%220.357r%2Fr%22%22=%22%220.357radians.

To change radians to degrees multiply by %22180%B0%22%2Fpi:

0.357%28%22180%B0%22%2Fpi%29%22%22=%22%22%2220.45459329%B0%22
