To find the radian measure of the central angle
that intercepts an arc of length 12 inches in a circle with a radius of 17 inches, we use the formula:
where
is the length of the arc and
is the radius of the circle.Given:-
inches-
inchesSubstitute the given values into the formula:
Now, perform the division:
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
Therefore, the radian measure of the central angle
is approximately
radians.
