Item 4 In a circle with a radius of 36.9 m, an arc is intercepted by a central angle of 8π 5 radians. What is the arc length? Use 3.14 for π and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

The arc length is 185.39 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length is calculated by the following expression:

[tex]\Delta s = \Delta \theta \cdot r[/tex]

Where:

[tex]r[/tex] - Radius, measured in meters.

[tex]\Delta \theta[/tex] - Central angle, measured in radians.

If [tex]r = 36.9\,m[/tex] and [tex]\Delta \theta =\frac{8}{5}\pi\, rad[/tex], the arc length, measured in meters, is:

[tex]\Delta s = \frac{8}{5}\pi\cdot (36.9\,m)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta s = \frac{8}{5}\cdot (3.14)\cdot (36.9\,m)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta s \approx 185.386\,m[/tex]

[tex]\Delta s \approx 185.39\,m[/tex]

The arc length is 185.39 meters.
