Answer: In degrees , The measure of [tex]\theta=65.5^{\circ}[/tex]

In radians , the measure of  [tex]\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for length of arc is given by :-

[tex]l=\theta r[/tex]

, where [tex]\theta[/tex] = Central angle subtended by arc.

r= radius of the circle.

As per given , we have

Radius of circle : r=7 m

Length of arc : l=  8 m

Substitute these values in the above formula , we get

[tex]8=\theta (7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}[/tex]

Hence, the measure of [tex]\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\text{ radians}[/tex].

To convert it into degrees we multiply it with [tex]\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}[/tex]

The measure of [tex]\theta =\dfrac{8}{7}\times\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]=(\dfrac{8\times180}{7\times3.14})^{\circ}=65.5141037307^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\approx65.5^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, the measure of [tex]\theta=65.5^{\circ}[/tex]

The measure of central angle theta in a circle of radius 7 m and subtended by an arc of length 8 m is 65. 4°(degrees) or  1.141445 radians

The central angle is unknown and its is subtended by an arc of length 8m .

Therefore,

Using length of arc formula,

length of arc = ∅  /360 × 2πr

where

∅ = angle

r = radius = 7m

length of arc = 8m  

8 = ∅ /360 × 2 × 7 × π

8 = ∅ /360 × 14π

14π∅ = 2880

∅ = 2880 / 14π

∅ = 65.3912348499

∅ ≈ 65. 4°(degrees)

∅ = 1.141445 radians
