If a circular arc of the given length s = 6 km subtends the central angle θ = 40° on a circle, find the radius of the circle. (Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.) I've got the answer, but need to know how to work the problem.

theta =arc/radius ratio
6/R=40 DEG
=0.15km
or 150m
s = 6 km
circle = 360° = 9 times the subtended angle of 40°
circumference of circle therefore = (9)(6) = 54 km
C = pi (2r)
54 = (2)(3.1415)r
r = 8.59 km
