Question

This is the first year Jenna is playing softball. She has been practicing her batting. On her last swing, the bat made an arc with a radius of 48 inches and swept through 255 degree of a rotation. Assuming the arc is circular, what is the distance the tip of the bat travels to the nearest inch?

Your answer

Answer 1

$L=\pi r \frac{\alpha}{180^{\circ}}$

$r=48 in$ , $\alpha=255^{\circ}$

Then

$L=\pi 48\frac{255^{\circ}}{180^{\circ}}=68\pi in.$
