**Topic: Calculating Angle in Radians**

**Objective:**
Learn how to find the angle \( \theta \) in radians using given arc length and radius.

**Problem Statement:**
Find \( \theta \) (in radians) for an angle having an arc length of 23 and a radius of 15.

**Solution Setup:**
The formula to find the angle in radians is:

\[
\theta = \frac{\text{Arc Length}}{\text{Radius}}
\]

Given:
- Arc Length = 23
- Radius = 15

**Equation:**

\[
\theta = \frac{23}{15} \text{ radians}
\]

**Conclusion:**
By substituting the values into the formula, \( \theta \) can be calculated as \(\frac{23}{15}\) radians. 

This approach helps in determining the measure of an angle when the arc's length and the circle's radius are known.
