Simon decides to swing higher. If the distance travelled on one swing is 3.5 m what would be the central angle in degrees?
To determine the central angle, we need to calculate the length of the arc that corresponds to the distance traveled on one swing. The central angle is then given by the formula:
θ = (s / r) * (180/π)
Where:
θ = Central angle (in degrees)
s = Length of the arc
r = Radius of the swing's circle
In this case, we are given that the distance traveled on one swing is 3.5 m. However, we do not have the radius of the circle. Without the radius, we cannot determine the central angle accurately.
If you have additional information, such as the radius of the swing's circle, please provide it, and I will be happy to help you calculate the central angle.
