15. Earth completes one orbit of the sun in 1 year. The orbit
approximates a circle with radius 150 million kilometres.
a) To the nearest hundred thousand kilometres, what is the length
of the arc along Earth’s orbit after 30 days?
After 30 days, the length of the arc in kilometres is:
30
(2␲)(150 000 000) ‫. . .44.829 364 77 ؍‬
365
So, the length of the arc is approximately 77 500 000 km.
b) To the nearest hundred thousand kilometres, what is the straight-
line distance between the ends of this arc?
In radians, the central angle subtended by the arc is:
30
(2␲) ‫. . .4615.0 ؍‬
365
The straight-line distance is the length of the third side of a triangle
with two sides equal to 150 000 000 km and a contained angle of
0.5164. . . √
Use the Cosine Law: c ‫ ؍‬t2 ؉ s2 ؊ 2ts cos C

16. Points on the circumferences of these
circles move at the same speed. 10 cm
When the smaller circle rotates through
1.4 radians, the larger circle rotates
through 0.9 radians. The radius of the
smaller circle is 10 cm. What is the radius
of the larger circle, to the nearest tenth
of a centimetre?
When the smaller circle rotates through 1.4 radians, a point on the circle
traces an arc.
When the larger circle rotates through 0.9 radians, a point on the circle
traces an arc.
The lengths of these arcs are equal.
For a rotation of 1.4 radians, the arc length is: (1.4)(10 cm) ‫ 41 ؍‬cm
Let the radius of the larger circle be r centimetres.
In centimetres, the arc length of the larger circle is: 0.9r
So, 0.9r ‫41 ؍‬
