I have another problem that seems too simple, so I don't know if I'm doing it wrong.

Find the radian measure of angle "theta". If "theta" is a central angle in a circle of radius 3 inches and "theta" cuts off an arc of length 6 inches.

I used the formula s=r "theta"

6=3 "theta"

6/3= theta

theta=2
