  • your background music is WAY to lound

  • The method that I learned when I was in school for arc length:

    s = rθ

    ...where s = arc length, r = radius of the circle, and θ = central angle in radians. In your example:

    s = 6 cm ∙ 150°

    s = 6 cm ∙ (150° ∙ (π / 180 rad)) [convert to radians]

    s = 6 cm ∙ 5π/6 rad = 30π/6 = 5π cm = 15.708 cm.

    Both work, of course, but just mentioning another way to do it ;).
