Circle O shown below has a radius of 27 inches. Find, to the nearest tenth of adegree, the measure of the angle, 2, that forms an are whose length is 14 inches.

SOLUTION
To calculate the value of x the length of arc formula will be used
The formua for length of arc is
[tex]L=\frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r[/tex]From the given circle
L= 14
r=27
Substitute the values into the formula
[tex]14=\frac{x}{360}\times2\pi\times27[/tex]Solve for x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 14\times360=54\pi x \\ 5040=54\pi x \\ x=\frac{5040}{54\pi} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the value of x is
[tex]x=29.7^{\circ}[/tex]Therefore the required angle is 29.7⁰
