When the central angle is given in radians, like it is in your problem, then the length of any arc is:
arc length = (central angle) x radius
So for arc DE:
arc DE length = (2.36) x AD
For arc BC:
arc BC length = (1.18) x AB
We are given that AD = (2/3) AB, so AB = (3/2) AD. WE can substitute this into the arc length for BC:
arc BC length = (1.18)(3)(AD) / 2
Now take the ratio. Note that 1.18/2.36 = 1/2 and AD/AD = 1:
BC/AD = (1.18)(3)(AD) / (2)(2.36)(AD) = (1)(3)(1) / (2)(2)(1) = _____?

try using the formula s = r * theta where s = arc length, r = radius and theta = central angle in radians05/17/21
