[Technology Exercise]


You want to make an 80° angle by marking an arc on the perimeter of a 12-in.-diameter disk and drawing lines from the ends of the arc to the disk’s center. To the nearest tenth of an inch, how long should the arc be?

First, understand that the arc length of a circle is a portion of the circle's circumference. The formula for the arc length (L) is given by L = θ/360° * C, where θ is the angle in degrees and C is the circumference of the circle.
Calculate the circumference of the circle using the formula C = π * d, where d is the diameter of the circle. Here, the diameter is 12 inches.
Substitute the given values into the circumference formula: C = π * 12 inches.
Now, substitute the values of θ = 80° and the calculated circumference into the arc length formula: L = 80/360 * C.
Simplify the expression to find the arc length L, ensuring to round the final result to the nearest tenth of an inch.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Arc Length

Arc length is the distance along the curved line of a circle's circumference. It can be calculated using the formula: Arc Length = (θ/360) × 2πr, where θ is the angle in degrees and r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is half the diameter, which is 6 inches.

Circle Geometry

Circle geometry involves the properties and relationships of circles, including their angles, radii, and chords. Understanding how angles relate to arcs is crucial, as the angle subtended at the center of the circle directly influences the length of the arc. For an 80° angle, this relationship is key to finding the correct arc length.

Radians vs. Degrees

Radians and degrees are two units for measuring angles. While degrees are more commonly used in everyday contexts, radians are often preferred in calculus and geometry due to their direct relationship with arc length and circle properties. To convert degrees to radians, use the formula: radians = degrees × (π/180). This conversion may be necessary for certain calculations.
