Find the degree measure of the angle subtended at the centre of a circle of diameter 60 cm by an arc of length 16.5 cm.
Angle in radians =
θ= where θ is central angle, l=length of arc, r=radius
Now,
=
and r = 0.5 x diameter
= radians
θ in degrees =
θ in minutes = 0.5 x 60 = 30’
Therefore angle subtended at the center is 31° 30’
