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

AI Thread 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.

So far so good.

You know that the circumference is 75.3982 in, then how much is 105/360 of it?

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

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
