Write an equation of the circle with center (-8,4) and diameter 6 .

(x+8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 3^2

or

(x+8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 6, so the radius would be d/2 =3

The equation of a circle is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x- -8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 3^2

(x+8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 3^2

or

(x+8)^2 + (y-4)^2 = 9

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
