In a circle with radius 5 , an angle measuring π6\frac{\pi}{6} radians intercepts an arc. Find the length of the arc in simplest form.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The circle has a radius of 5 5 .
2. The angle intercepting the arc measures π6 \frac{\pi}{6} radians.
3. We need to find the length of the arc.

STEP 2

1. Recall the formula for the arc length.
2. Substitute the given values.
3. Calculate the arc length.

STEP 3

Recall the formula for the arc length:
Arc Length=θ×r \text{Arc Length} = \theta \times r
where θ \theta is the angle in radians and r r is the radius of the circle.

STEP 4

Substitute the given values into the formula:
Arc Length=π6×5 \text{Arc Length} = \frac{\pi}{6} \times 5

STEP 5

Calculate the product:
Arc Length=π6×5 \text{Arc Length} = \frac{\pi}{6} \times 5 =5π6 = \frac{5\pi}{6}
The length of the arc is:
5π6 \boxed{\frac{5\pi}{6}}
