    so if the central angle (alpha=5) intercepts an arc of length (s=10ft), would i find the radius the same way?

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  Před 3 lety

      Yes. If the central angle is 5 degrees and the arc length is 10 feet, you could follow the exact same procedure substituting your angle and arc for mine.

    How come the bigger the angle, the smaller the radius? So if I have angle of say 360 degrees compared to 1 degree, the circle gets smaller and smaller in radius?

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  Před 2 lety

      The angle really tells you what fraction of the circle you have. For example, a 90 degree and is a quarter of the circle while a 180 degree angle is half the circle. Say you have a piece of string that’s 20 cm long and it goes half way around the circle. Now imagine that you put the same string on another circle and it only goes a quarter of the way around. Which is the bigger circle? If the string only goes a quarter of the way around, it must be a bigger circle. If the same string goes halfway around, it must be a smaller circle. So a smaller angle means the string (arc length) covers a smaller portion of the circle. The smaller the portion of the circle covered, the bigger that circle must be. Thus the smaller the angle, the bigger the radius (for a given arc length).

    I have a problem that’s says a circle has an arc length of 13 feet that is intercepted by central angle of pie radians. What is the circumference of the circle?

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  Před 3 lety

      If the angle is pi, that means the angle is in radians. The arc length formula for radians is arc length = radius x angle. So in your case 13 = radius x pi. If you divide by pi you get radius = 13/pi. The circumference = 2•pi•radius. Since the radius is 13/pi, the circumference = 2•pi•(13/pi). The pies cancel out, so circumference = 2•13 = 26. 🤓

    They are asking me to find the radius of a sector with: 1) perimeter 2) angle
    So it would be 148/360 x 2pi x r +2r= 77.91
    How would we do this then?

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  Před 2 lety

      The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. If they gave you the perimeter, they gave you the circumference (77.91). The formula for circumference is C=2pi•r so we have 2pi•r=77.91. Dividing both sides by 2pi we have r=77.91/(2pi). You don’t need the angle given.

      First find the circumference which is the total arc length of the whole circle. Then if you subtract the minor arc it will leave the major arc. 😊

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful

      The steps would not change if the arc length was given in terms of pi. You are more likely to get a whole number since the pi’s will cancel out.

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  Před rokem +1

      With radians, the process is a lot easier. S=r(theta) so r=S/theta. Let’s say the central angle is pi/6. Then r=(3pi/4)/(pi/6)=(3pi/4)(6/pi)=18/4=9/2=4.5.
