Radian measure of the central angle is 4 radian
Solution:
Given that,
A circle of radius 1.5 meter that intercepts an arc of length 600 centimeters
To find: Radian measure of the central angle
Let us find the circumference of circle
The circumference of circle is given as:
[tex]\text{ circumference of circle } = 2 \pi r[/tex]
Where "r" is the radius of circle
[tex]\text{ circumference of circle } = 2 \times \pi \times 1.5 = 3 \pi[/tex]
Therefore circumference of circle = [tex]3 \pi[/tex] meters , which subtends central angle of [tex]2 \pi[/tex] radian
Given that arc of length 600 centimeters. Let us convert 600 centimeter to meter
We know that, to convert centimeter to meter divide the length value by 100
[tex]\text{ 600 centimeter } = \frac{600}{100} \text{ meter } = 6 \text{ meter}[/tex]
Therefore arc of 6 meter will subtend a central angle of:
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{6}{3 \pi} \times 2 \pi = 4[/tex]
Therefore radian measure of the central angle is 4 radian
