First you need to find the circumference of the circle.
C = 2 x pi x r
C = 2 x 3.14159 x 5in
C = 31.4159in

Then you have to take the ratio of the angle compared to the whole circle.

30 / 360 = .0833

Arc Length = .0833 x 31.4159
Arc Length = 2.62 in

Hi,
The arc length can be obtained by:

(pi x r x Angle) / 180

or

(3.1415 x 5 x 30) / 180 = 2.618 in.

Hope this helps...

The radius of a circle is 3 centimeters. What is the length of a 90° arc?

circumference is pye times twice the radius or by the diameter
3.1417 X 6 ( diameter or 2 times the radius )= 18.8496
90 degrees is 1/4 of the circumference
18.8496 divided by 4 = 4.7124 cms
arc of 90 degrees =4.74124 cms

A right angle triangle with length of AB 10cm and AC 20cm, how do I find the angle of BC

Assuming that the angle at A is the right angle, Pythagoras' theorem says that the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In your case, AB and AC are 'the other two sides' and BC is the hypotenuse, so:

/ 2 2 /
length BC = V 10 + 20 = V 100 + 400


= V 500 = 22.36 cm

(To find the angle at C, you need trigonometry and is arc-tan(10/20)

and the angle at B is arc-tan(20/10) - 26.5 deg and 63.5 deg)

How to find the length ot the arc ,a circle has a radius of 45cm.

You can not do it unless you know the measure of the central angle sustending (supporting) the arc. If the angle is known, you use the proportionality relation that follows:
If angle is in degrees
(length of arc) / circumference=(measure of central angle sustending arc)/360.
Here the circumference is 2*PI*radius.

If angle is in radians , the relation is somewhat simpler,
arc length= (radius length)* (angle measure in radians)
It is clear that in the last relation, the unit for the arc length is the same as the unit for the radius.

Trigonometric word problem with solution

If the distance of a person from a tower is 100 m and the angle subtended by the top of the tower with the ground is 30o, what is the height of the tower in meters? Solution:
tower.gif
  • AB = distance of the man from the tower = 100 m

  • BC = height of the tower = h (to be calculated)

  • The trigonometric function that uses AB and BC is tan A , where A = 30o.
So tan 30o = BC / AB = h / 100 Therefore height of the tower h = 100 tan 30o = (100) 1/√3 = 57.74 m.

Find the radius of a circle in which a 40o central angle cuts off an arc whose length is 4pi

If an arc is 4╥, it is 12.56.
You can use 12.56 as a starting point and figure out what circumference that is 40° of.

Circumference = 2 • π • radius = π • diameter

Reverse this and you will have your answer.
