Question

The radius of the circle shown below is 17 yards. What is the length

of the 300 degree arc?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
17 yd
300°

Answer 1

The length of the arc is 89 yards

Explanation:

Mathematically, to find the length of an arc, we use the formula below;

Length of an arc = Theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

In this case, Theta = 300 and r = 17 yards

Length of the arc = 300/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 17 = 89.047619047583 which is 89 yards to the nearest yard
