The exact arc length is [tex]\frac{32\pi}{3}[/tex] radians.
The arc length in approximate form is 33.49 radians.
What is the formula for arc length?
[tex]s = r\times \theta[/tex]
where r is the radius of the circle and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the central angle in radians.
How to convert angle from degrees to radians?
Radians = Degrees ×[tex]\frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}[/tex]
For given question,
We have been given a circle with a 8-cm radius associated with a central angle of 240 degrees.
[tex]r=8~cm,~\theta=240^{\circ}[/tex]
First we convert angle in radians.
[tex]\theta=240^{\circ}\\\\\theta=240^{\circ} \times \frac{\pi}{180^{\circ}}\\\\ \theta=\frac{4\pi}{3}[/tex]
Using the formula of the arc length,
[tex]s=8\times \frac{4\pi}{3} \\\\s=\frac{32\pi}{3}[/tex]
The exact answer of the arc length is [tex]s=\frac{32\pi}{3}[/tex]
Substitute the value of [tex]\pi = 3.14[/tex]
So, the arc length would be,
[tex]\Rightarrow s=\frac{32\times \pi}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{32\times 3.14}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow s=33.49[/tex]radians
Therefore, the exact arc length is [tex]\frac{32\pi}{3}[/tex] radians.
the arc length in approximate form is 33.49 radians.
