sorry, but I still have questions regarding that..Buffu said:
the tetha times R is to find Arc AC right?
while tetha is twice angle ABC ?
A circle is circumscribed around triangle ABC, find length?

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the lengths of arcs AB, BC, and CA in a triangle ABC circumscribed by a circle with radius r. The key formula used is arc-length, expressed as l = rθ, where θ is the angle subtended at the center of the circle. Participants clarify that the angles a, b, and c correspond to the angles at the triangle's vertices, and they discuss how to express the arc lengths in terms of these angles and the radius. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between the triangle's angles and the circle's geometry.
