		From Hope: How do you turn a percentage in to a central angle eg. 11% Answered by Penny Nom.
	A chord length of 2 cm		2014-03-13
		From prema: I am having only chord length as 2cm. how to find arc length and degree Answered by Penny Nom.
	A circle graph		2014-03-06
		From Caitlyn: I need to find the measure of the central angle that represents the amount of time spent on each activity. My question includes a circle graph with the following: Sleep 31%, Other 15%, Entertainment 18%, Errands 7%, Work 20%, and Food 9%. Answered by Penny Nom.
	The degree measure of the central arc of a circle		2012-10-17
		From Crystal: On a circle with radius of 12 cm is an arc of length 20 cm. What is the degree measure of the central angle used to make this arc? Answered by Penny Nom.
	A truncated cone: the central angle		2012-07-17
		From Tom: I have researched several sites, including this one and am fairly confident I can do the calculations required to produce the two radii and the slant height for a truncated cone. I a somewhat confused by the central angle. Some sites indicate that it should never exceed 180 degrees while others do not. Different examples on your site seem to use this in two different ways in constructing a truncated cone. Sometimes the angle seems to indicate the section to be removed, while in other examples the angle seems to indicate the section to be saved. Since the two angles will always total 360 I am confused about how to use the info to calculate the minimum rectangle required to contain the pattern. I'm guessing that in some cases I may need to use the chord or sagitta to determine the desired height and width of the material. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

	Find the central angle		2009-08-18
		From Larissa: In a circle, the length of a chord AB is 4 cm and the length of the arc AB is 5 cm. Find the central angle theta, in radians, correct to four decimal places. Then give the answer to the nearest degree. I think I'm supposed to use Newton's method, but am not sure how to start with this problem. Answered by Harley Weston.
	The central angle of a chord		2009-04-06
		From Dale: How do I find the central angle if I only have the cord length and radius. Answered by Harley Weston.
	A space camera circles the Earth		2008-06-16
		From Rita: A space camera circles the Earth at a height of h miles above the surface. Suppose that d distance, IN MILES, on the surface of the Earth can be seen from the camera. (a) Find an equation that relates the central angle theta to the height h. (b) Find an equation that relates the observable distance d and theta. (c) Find an equation that relates d and h. (d) If d is to be 3500 miles, how high must the camera orbit above Earth? (e) If the camera orbits at a height of 400 miles, what distance d on the surface can be seen? Answered by Penny Nom.
	The wedges in a circle graph		2008-05-18
		From Libby: I don't understand how to do this word problem: The cafeteria workers distributed a survey to the student body asking students to pick 1 from a list of 5 choices for their favorite lunch. The circle graph below gives the results of the survey for the students who responded. What is the measure, in degrees, of the central angle for each choice? And there is a pie chart that has food choices with these percentages: 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, and 30% Answered by Leeanne Boehm and Penny Nom.
	Chord, radius, arc length and central angle		2008-04-15
		From Cindy: There is a railroad curve with a chord length of 2000 ft. and a central angle of 35 degrees. What is the radius and arc length of the circular arc? Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	The radius of a circular arc		2008-02-04
		From Bill: Hi,the Central Angle of a sector of a circle is 40 degrees. The circular arc of the curve has a chord length of 3000 ft. Find the radius(r) of the circular arc. Answered by Penny Nom.
	Arc lengths, central angles and radii		2007-10-04
		From Ashutosh: Jose can remember that the length of an arc is 440cm, but he cannot remember the radius of the arc or the angle at the center. He does know that the angle was a whole number of degrees and the radius was less than 100cm. Find three possible angles and write down the size of each of the possible radii.
