The length of an arc of a circle corresponding to a central angle of 250 ° is 20cm. What is the radius of the circle?

A circular arc is the part of this circle that is enclosed between two radii.

The radius of a circle can be found using the formula for the length of an arc of a circle. The length of an arc of a circle is equal to the product of the number Pi and the radius of the circle by the central angle that rests on it, divided by 180 degrees:

L = πrα / 180 °;

r = (L · 180 °) / π · α;

r = 20 180 / 3.14 250 = 3600/785 = 4.585 ≈ 4.6 cm.

Answer: the radius of the circle is 4.6 cm.
