Step 1
1 of 2

Determine the measurement of the arc left after removal of the 35°35\text{\textdegree} arc.

36035=325\begin{gather*} 360 - 35 = 325 \end{gather*}

Determine the length of the major arc left. Use the circumference formula.

=2πr×325360Write an expression=2(3.14)(6)×325360Substitute the values=37.68×325360Multiply the values=34.0Multiply the values\begin{align*} &= 2 \pi r \times \dfrac{325}{360} && \text{Write an expression}\\ &= 2(3.14)(6) \times \dfrac{325}{360} && \text{Substitute the values}\\ &= 37.68 \times \dfrac{325}{360} && \text{Multiply the values}\\ &= 34.0 && \text{Multiply the values} \end{align*}
