The angle of 11' (minute of an arc) in radian is nearly equal to:

A

2.91×104 rad2.91 \times 10^{-4} \text{ rad}

B

4.85×104 rad4.85 \times 10^{-4} \text{ rad}

C

4.80×106 rad4.80 \times 10^{-6} \text{ rad}

D

1.75×102 rad1.75 \times 10^{-2} \text{ rad}

Step-by-Step Solution

We know that 360=2π rad360^{\circ} = 2\pi \text{ rad}, so 1=π180 rad1.745×102 rad1^{\circ} = \frac{\pi}{180} \text{ rad} \approx 1.745 \times 10^{-2} \text{ rad}. Since 11 minute of an arc (11') is 160\frac{1}{60} of a degree: 1=160=1.745×10260 rad2.908×104 rad1' = \frac{1^{\circ}}{60} = \frac{1.745 \times 10^{-2}}{60} \text{ rad} \approx 2.908 \times 10^{-4} \text{ rad}. Rounding off to three significant figures, we get 12.91×104 rad1' \approx 2.91 \times 10^{-4} \text{ rad}.
