Find the number of radians in the central angle that subtends an arc of 6cm on a circle of diameter 5m. Please help me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
= ,
where r is the circle's radius, is the central angle in radians, and S is the arc's length.
Which gives you = = radians.
Here 6 = 6 cm is the given length of the arc, and 250 = 250 cm = 2.5 m is the circle's radius.
Be aware: the solution by @josgarithmetic was W R O N G.
