A circle has a diameter of 30, and an arc AB of length 15*pi/2. Find the length of chord AB.
+23 The circumference of the circle is 30π. (π * diameter). The length of the arc is 1/4 the length of the diameter because 4(15π/2)=30π. Now it is easy to see that the angle AOB, where O is the center of the circle, is 90˚. Now we just need to use the pythagorean theorem to solve a triangle with 2 legs of length 30 to get 30sqrt2.
Hope this was helpful!
