Question 7 • Mathematics III

A circle has a central angle measuring 3 pi over 4 radians that intersects an arc of length 45 in. What is the length of the radius of the circle? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Use 3 point 1 4 for pi

Answer
A
105 point 6 in.
B
135 point 0 in.
C
2 point 4 in.
D
19 point 1 in.

Explanation

Use the arc-length formula s = rθ, where θ is measured in radians. Solving for the radius gives r = s/θ = 45 ÷ (3 × 3.14 ÷ 4) = 45 ÷ 2.355 ≈ 19.1 inches. Therefore, the radius is 19.1 in., choice C.
