Explana!on
Recall the length of the arc, s, subtended by a circle with central angle θ and
Repo

radius r , is given by the formula s = rθ , where θ is measured in radians.

Arc XY Z is subtended by the central angle 360∘ − 20∘ = 340∘ . To use the
s = rθ formula, we must convert 340∘ to an angle in radians.

Recall that there are 2π radians in one revolu!on of a circle. There are also
360∘ in one revolu!on of a circle.

This leads us to the following conversion:

2π radians = 360∘

π
If we divide both sides by 360, we have that 1∘ = radians.
180

We can use this factor to convert degrees to radians.

The conversion is performed below.

340∘ = 340 ⋅ 1∘

π
= 340 ⋅
180
