A circle has a circumference of 6. It has an arc of length 1.
What is the central angle of the arc, in degrees?

Sagot :

Answer:   60 degrees

========================================================

Explanation:

The circumference is the perimeter of the circle. It's the distance around the circle's edge. Think of it like a fence.

The full circle's perimeter is 6 units. The arc length is a piece of that and it's 1 unit.

1/6 of the full perimeter is the arc length

1/6 of a full 360 degree rotation is (1/6)*360 = 360/6 = 60

The central angle of the arc is 60 degrees.

------------

If you want to use a formula, it would be

[tex]A = \frac{L}{C}*360[/tex]

where,

A = central angle of the arc

L = arc length

C = circumference

You would plug in L = 1 and C = 6 to find that A = 60
