A circle's center is at (4 ,6 ) and it passes through (2 ,4 ). What is the length of an arc covering (pi ) /3 radians on the circle?

1 Answer

s=rtheta=2sqrt2*pi/3=2.96192 " "units

Explanation:

The length of arc is given s=r theta where r=radius, theta=central angle in radian

compute r=sqrt((4-2)^2+(6-4)^2)=2sqrt2

theta=pi/3

s=rtheta=2sqrt2*pi/3=2.96192 " "units

God bless...I hope the explanation is useful.
