Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I found out the arc AB is 2π, arc BC is 4π/3 and arc AC is 8π/3. Don't know if it's relevant, but I did it nonetheless. The book says nothing about finding the arc or finding the lengths, the question came out of nowhere. It's a shitty book to say the least. Don' really know where to go from here. Is there a constant ratio between length of sides of a central angle and something else?
