Question

. In a circle with center ‘O’, the measure of the central angle is 100°. Find the measure

of the corresponding minor arc. State reason for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of an arc refers to the arc length divided by the radius of the circle. The arc measure equals the corresponding central angle measure, in radians. That's why radians are natural: a central angle of one radian will span an arc exactly one radius long.

A circle is 360° all the way around; therefore, if you divide an arc's degree measure by 360°, you find the fraction of the circle's circumference that the arc makes up. Then, if you multiply the length all the way around the circle (the circle's circumference) by that fraction, you get the length along the arc.
