To find the length of an arc in a circle, you can use the formula:
where:
is the arc length, is the radius of the circle, is the central angle in radians.
First, you need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. The conversion formula is:
For a central angle of 210 degrees:
Now, substitute the values into the arc length formula. The radius
Now, calculate
Using
Rounding this to the tenths place gives:
Thus, the length of the arc is approximately 25.7 miles.
