Answer:
The central angle is 5/3 radians or approximately 95.4930°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that arc-length is given by the formula:
[tex]\displaystyle s = r\theta[/tex]
Where s is the arc-length, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the measure of the central angle, in radians.
Since the intercepted arc-length is 10 meters and the radius is 6 meters:
[tex]\displaystyle (10) = (6)\theta[/tex]
Solve for θ:
[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \frac{5}{3}\text{ rad}[/tex]
The central angle measures 5/3 radians.
Recall that to convert from radians to degrees, we can multiply by 180°/π. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5\text{ rad}}{3} \cdot \frac{180^\circ}{\pi \text{ rad}} = \frac{300}{\pi}^\circ\approx 95.4930^\circ[/tex]
So, the central angle is approximately 95.4930°
