Question 1175254: A flower bed is planted in the shape of an arc along the edge of a circular walkway. If the circle has a radian of t yards and the angle substance by the arc measures 1.5 radian,what is the length in yards of the borders. Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
A flower bed is planted in the shape of an arc along the edge of a circular walkway. If the circle has a radius of t yards and the angle subtended by the arc measures 1.5 radian,what is the length in yards of the borders.
The power of radian measure is that a central angle of 1 radian subtends an arc whose length is equal to the length of the radius.
In your problem, the central angle is 1.5 radians and the radius is t yards, so the length of the arc is 1.5 times t.
