The angle subtended at the centre of the circle by a 2.9 centimeter arc is equal to 15° 38.46'/15° 38' 27.6''.
What is the measure of the central angle of a circular section?
In this problem we have to determine the measure of a central angle of a circular section in DMS (Degrees - Minutes - Seconds) system, in which a degree is equal to 60 minutes and a minute to 60 seconds. First, we must calculate the radius of the circle by the area formula:
r = √ (A / π) (1)
r = √ (354 / π)
r ≈ 10.615 cm
Then, the measure of the central angle in radians is found by the equation of circular arc:
θ = s/r
θ = 2.9 cm / 10.615 cm
θ = 0.273 radians
Finally, we convert the angle into DMS system:
θ = 0.273 rad × 180°/π
θ = 15.641°
Degrees: 15°
Minutes and seconds: 0.641° (38.46')
Minutes: 38'
Seconds: (0.46' = 27.6'')
The angle subtended at the centre of the circle by a 2.9 centimeter arc is equal to 15° 38.46'/15° 38' 27.6''.
