What is the radius of the track


This porblem has been killing me. It's the last question that I have left on my homework assignment and it is due tonight at midnight.

The car in the figure below travels a distance of 745 m along the track, and the driver finds that she has traveled through an angle of 475°. What is the radius of the track?

Please help!

Uh ... what track is that? (No figure included). Is it a circular track?

This is a pre-calculus math problem, rather than an Introductory Physics problem. How many radians are there in 475 degrees?
