Question

For the given central angle, determine the distance traveled along the unit circle from the point (1, 0). 210 degrees a. 3.67 units c. 1.83 units b. 1.17 units clockwise d. 7.33 units

Answer 1

3.67 units

Explanation:

The central angle is at the point (0,0).

Then it's at the point (1,0)

Then it moved 210 degrees.

Let's bear in mind that we start moving the degree from it's current position.

So moving 210 degrees is moving 180 degrees plus 30 degrees.

Moving 180 degrees I like transforming linearly.

Now the location is at (-1,0)

But the distance covered will be

= 2πr*210/360

r = 1

= 2*3.142*1*(210/360)

= 6.144*0.5833333

= 3.67 units
