MHB Find radius, circumference, area and arc length in circle

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating various properties of a circle, including radius, circumference, area, and arc length. The user successfully determined the radius as 12 inches, circumference as 75.3982 inches, and area as 452.389 square inches. However, they are struggling with the arc length calculation. A participant suggests using the formula for arc length, which involves taking a fraction of the circumference based on the angle in degrees. The conversation emphasizes the importance of expressing answers in terms of π.

Note that the instructions say to express your answers in terms of \(\pi\). :)
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
