Arc Length Calculation in a Circle

What is the length of arc CE in circle D with m∠CDE = 118 degrees and CD = 4 units?

Final answer: None of the provided answer choices is correct as per the given inputs in the question. There might be a mistake in the question or the answer choices.

To solve this problem, we need to remember that arc length is determined by the central angle that it subtends and the circle's radius. Here, the central angle is given as 118 degrees and the radius is equal to half of the diameter, which is CD/2 = 4/2 = 2 units.

The arc length (L) can be determined using the formula L = r × θ where r is the radius and θ is the central angle in radians. To convert degrees to radians, we multiply by π/180 so θ = 118 × π/180 ≈ 2.06 radians.

Substituting these values into our equation, L = 2 × 2.06 ≈ 4.12 units. None of the provided answer choices match this result, indicating a potential error in the question or answer choices.
