the lenght of AB is 6 pi and mAB is 120 degrees. whays the diameter
To find the diameter of a circle from the length of an arc, we can use the formula:
diameter = arc length / (angle in degrees / 360)
In this case, the arc length (AB) is given as 6 pi and the angle (mAB) is given as 120 degrees.
First, convert the arc length from radians to degrees. Since there are 2π radians in a full circle (360 degrees), we can use the conversion factor:
arc length in degrees = arc length in radians * (180 degrees / π)
arc length in degrees = 6π * (180/π) = 6 * 180 = 1080 degrees
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
diameter = 6pi / (120 / 360) = 6pi / (1/3) = 6pi * 3 = 18pi
Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 18π.
