Answer:

158.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

r = 13 in

s = 3 ft

Calculations:

(a) Convert feet to inches

s = 3 ft × (12 in/1 ft) = 36 in

(b) Calculate the angle

Let θ = the angle subtended by the arc.

s = rθ

θ = s/r  = 36/13  ≈ 2.7692 rad

Convert radians to degrees

2.7692 rad × (360°/2π rad) = 158.7°

The wheel travels through an arc of 158.7°.

Answer:

2.78 radians or 159.36°

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

[tex]r=13in[/tex]

[tex]\theta =?[/tex]

[tex]s=3 ft[/tex]

[tex]s[/tex] refers to the length of the circumference, which is the same distance rolled.

So, to find the angle, we have to use this definition:

[tex]s=\theta r[/tex]; which is the relation between arc, angle and length.

Before, replacing all values, we have to transform 13 inches in feet. We know that 1 feet is 12 inches. So,

[tex]13in\frac{1ft}{12in}=1.08ft[/tex]

Now, we find the angle.

[tex]s=\theta r\\\theta=\frac{3ft}{1.08ft}=2.78 \ rad[/tex]

Therefore, the angle is 2.78 radians.

To have it in degrees, we have to transform.

[tex]\pi \ rad =180\°\\2.78 \ rad \frac{180\°}{\pi rad}=\frac{500.4}{3.14}=159.36\°[/tex]
