You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the degree of the measure of the central angle associated with an arc that is 16 inches long in a circle with a radius of 12 inches.
-------------------------
The circumference is 2pi*r = 24pi inches
-------------
The arc is 16/24pi = 0.2122066 of the circle
--------------
0.2122066*360 = 76.4 degrees
