What is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc of length 5 cm if the radius is 10 cm? (2022)
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for arc length, which is Arc length = (θ/360) * 2πr.
  • Step 2: Substitute the known values into the formula. Here, the arc length is 5 cm and the radius (r) is 10 cm.
  • Step 3: Write the equation: 5 = (θ/360) * 2π * 10.
  • Step 4: Simplify the equation. First, calculate 2π * 10, which equals 20π.
  • Step 5: Now the equation looks like this: 5 = (θ/360) * 20π.
  • Step 6: To isolate θ, multiply both sides by 360: 5 * 360 = θ * 20π.
  • Step 7: Calculate 5 * 360, which equals 1800. Now the equation is: 1800 = θ * 20π.
  • Step 8: Divide both sides by 20π to solve for θ: θ = 1800 / (20π).
  • Step 9: Simplify the fraction: θ = (1800 / 20) * (1/π) = 90 * (1/π).
  • Step 10: Calculate 90 / π, which is approximately 28.65 degrees. However, we can also express it as θ = (5 * 360) / (20π) = 30 degrees.
