arc/circumference = 25/360
arc = (2Ï€(6))(25/360) = 5Ï€/6 ft or appr 2.62 ft
arc = (2Ï€(6))(25/360) = 5Ï€/6 ft or appr 2.62 ft
Arc Length = (Angle / 360) * 2 * π * radius
In this case, the angle is 25 degrees and the radius is 6 feet. π (pi) is a mathematical constant and is approximately equal to 3.14159.
Let's plug in the values into the formula:
Arc Length = (25 / 360) * 2 * 3.14159 * 6
First, we simplify the fraction:
Arc Length = (0.069444) * 2 * 3.14159 * 6
Now, we can calculate the arc length:
Arc Length = 0.138889 * 3.14159 * 6
Arc Length = 0.138889 * 18.84954
Arc Length ≈ 2.61884 feet
Therefore, the length of the arc, when an angle measuring 25 degrees is in a circle with a radius of 6 feet, is approximately 2.61884 feet.
