If the arcs of the same length in two circles subtend angles \(65^\circ\) and \(110^\circ\) at the center, find the ratio of their radii.

Solution:

We know:

\[ s=r\theta \]

Since the arc lengths are equal,

\[ r_1\theta_1=r_2\theta_2 \]

Therefore,

\[ \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{\theta_2}{\theta_1} \]

Given:

\[ \theta_1=65^\circ \]

\[ \theta_2=110^\circ \]

So,

\[ \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{110}{65} \]

\[ \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{22}{13} \]

Therefore, the ratio of the radii is:

\[ \boxed{22:13} \]
