Solution

To find the diameter of Circle B, we need to use the relationship between the arc length, the radius, and the central angle. The formula for the arc length s s is given by:

s=rθ s = r \theta

where r r is the radius and θ \theta is the central angle in radians.

Given that the arc length s s is 4 feet, we need to find the radius r r first. However, we don't have the central angle θ \theta . To proceed, we need to make an assumption or have additional information about the central angle.

If we assume that the arc length represents a semicircle (which is half of the circle), the central angle θ \theta would be π \pi radians (180 degrees).

Using the formula:

s=rθ s = r \theta

4=rπ 4 = r \pi

Solving for r r :

r=4π r = \frac{4}{\pi}

Now, the diameter D D is twice the radius:

D=2r D = 2r

D=2×4π D = 2 \times \frac{4}{\pi}

D=8π D = \frac{8}{\pi}

Using the value of π3.14159 \pi \approx 3.14159 :

D83.14159 D \approx \frac{8}{3.14159}

D2.546 D \approx 2.546

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the diameter of Circle B is approximately:

D2.5 feet D \approx 2.5 \text{ feet}
