What is the arc length?


Use 3.14 for π .


Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Verified Answer :

Arc length = radius central angle (in radians)
Arc length = 9 yards
PI/6
Arc length =



4.7124


Answer:

the arc length is, 4.71 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for arc length is given by:

\(l = r \theta\)

where,

r is the radius of the circle

\(\theta\) is the central angle in radian.

As per the statement:

In a circle with a radius of 9 yd, an arc is intercepted by a central angle of π/6 radians.

⇒r = 9 yd and \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}\)

Substitute the given values in [1] we have;

And use 3.14 for π .

\(l = 9 \cdot \frac{3.14}{6} = \frac{28.26}{6} = 4.71\) yd

Therefore, the arc length is, 4.71 yd
