Answer:
[tex]\widehat{GF}=49[/tex] degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, EG is the diameter of the circle and a point F is located on the circle.
Measure of [tex]\widehat{GF}[/tex] = 8.5 inches
Radius HF = 10 inches
Formula to get the length of arc = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}\times (2\pi r)[/tex]
8.5 = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360}(2\pi)(10)[/tex]
θ = [tex]\frac{360\times 8.5}{20\pi }[/tex]
= 48.7°
≈ 49°
Since central angle = measure of the intercepted arc
Therefore, [tex]\widehat{GF}=49[/tex] degrees will be the measure of the given arc GF.
