Can somebody explain how to do this ?

 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps involved in solving an algebraic equation in one variable are as stated as:

Step 1: If necessary, simplify the expressions on each side of the equation. This would involve things like removing parentheses, adding like terms, removing fractions.

To remove fractions: Since fractions are another way to write division, and the inverse of divide is to multiply, you remove the fractions by multiplying both sides by the "Least Common Divisor" of all your fractions.

Step 2:  Use Addition / Subtraction properties to move the variable term to one side and all other terms to the other side.

Step 3:  Use Multiplication / Division properties to remove any values that in front of the variable.

Step 4: Check your answer.

Step-by-Step Solution:

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
