May 17, 2010 -- A new study shows eating processed red meat -- such as hot dogs, bacon, sausage, and cold cuts -- is linked to increased risks of heart disease and diabetes.But the study, published in Circulation, shows no such link for unprocessed red meat.ating one serving a day of processed meat -- or the equivalent of a single hot dog or two slices of salami -- was associated with a 42% increased risk for heart disease and a 19% increased risk for diabetes in the study, conducted by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health.
A central angle is an angle whose apex (vertex) is the center O of a circle and whose legs (sides) are radii intersecting the circle in two distinct points A and B. The central angle is subtended by an arc between those two points, and the arc length is the central angle (measured in radians) times the radius.
All the way around the circle is 360o and the 50% wedge goes half way around so the central angle for the 50% wedge is 50% of 360o which is 1/2 Ã 360o = 180o. The 40% wedge uses 40% of 360o as its central angle and hence the angle is 40% of 360o or 40/100 Ã 360 = 144o.
