If you travel 4 miles around a circle with a radius of 1 mile, what is the central angle (q)?

A=66
B=229.18
C=114.59
D=240

Answer:

229.18 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle with radius r is 2×pi×r.

So if it has a radius of 1 mile, then the circumference is 2×pi×1=2pi miles.

So if we travel 4 miles, then the percentage of this circle we traveled is 4/(2pi)=63.66% approximately.

There are 360 degrees in a circle and we want to how much of that rotation belongs to traveling 4 miles of the circumference of a circle that measures 2pi miles. So 63.66%×360 degrees =229.18 degrees.
