An arc of circle M has length 32 centimeters and the corresponding central angle has a radian measure of . What is the radius of the circle?
The radius of the circle is
centimeters.


Sagot :

To determine the radius of the circle, we can use the formula relating the arc length, the central angle in radians, and the radius. The formula is given by:

[tex]\[ \text{Arc Length} = \text{Radius} \times \text{Central Angle (in radians)} \][/tex]

We are given:
- Arc Length = 32 centimeters
- Central Angle = 1 radian

We need to solve for the radius (r). Rearrange the formula to isolate the radius:

[tex]\[ \text{Radius} = \frac{\text{Arc Length}}{\text{Central Angle}} \][/tex]

Substitute the given values into the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{Radius} = \frac{32 \text{ centimeters}}{1 \text{ radian}} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \text{Radius} = 32 \text{ centimeters} \][/tex]

Thus, the radius of the circle is 32 centimeters.
