Explanation
Correct answer: 16.
It’s given that the measure of arc is and the length of arc is units. In a circle, the circumference corresponds to an arc measure of . Therefore, the ratio of the measure of arc to is equal to the ratio of the length of arc to the circumference. Since the circumference of a circle is , it follows that . This equation can be rewritten as . Multiplying both sides of this equation by yields , or . Therefore, the length, in units, of the radius of the circle is .
Desmos solution:
Note: In the arc length proportion, the unknown is the radius because multiplying the radius by two pi gives the circle’s circumference.
