If you know that 4.5 centimeters is 38.16 degrees of the circle, how do you find the circumference and radius of that circle?

  1. c = 4.5*(360/38.16) cm

    r = c/2pi


  2. Cross multiply and divide

    4.5 X 360 = 1620

    1620/38.16 = 42.45283 cm = circumference.

    radius = 1/2 circumference / PI

  3. Are those 4.5 cm a part of the circle or the distace between the two points where the angle length lines intersect with the circle?

    If it's a part of the circle then

    4.5 cm ------------ 38.16 degrees

    x cm(the full length) ------- 360 degrees

    x = (360 * 4.5) / 38.16 = 42.452830188679245283018867924528

    The length of the circle a.k.a. the circumferrence is 2 * pi * radius or the diameter * pi.

    diameter = 42.452830188679245283018867924528 / 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 = 13.513155545538283225659942173135

    radius = diameter / 2 = 13.513155545538283225659942173135 / 2 =
