Question

In the figure below, the radius of circle P is 10 units. The arc length of stack A B C with overbrace on top is 16pi.

What is the arc measure of stack A C with overbrace on top, in degrees?

  1. 72°    
  2. 288°    
  3. 4 pi    
  4. 20 pi    

hintHint:

Arc length = fraction numerator theta over denominator 360 end fraction cross times 2 cross times pi cross times r

The correct answer is: 72°


    Lets find the length of arc AC.
    Length of arc AC = circumference – length of arc ABC = 2 cross times pi cross times 10 - 16 pi = 4 pi
    Length of arc AC = (fraction numerator a r c blank a n g l e over denominator 360 end fraction) cross times circumference
    Arc Angle = fraction numerator 4 pi cross times 360 over denominator 20 pi end fraction= 72°
