An arc subtends an angle of 105 at the centre of a circle of radius 6cm.find the length of the arc if π is 3.14
Thanks
(105/360) * 2 pi R
To find the length of an arc, you can use the formula:
Length of Arc = (Angle/360) * 2 * π * Radius
Given:
Angle = 105 degrees
Radius = 6 cm
π = 3.14
First, convert the angle from degrees to radians as follows:
Angle in radians = (Angle in degrees * π) / 180
Angle in radians = (105 * 3.14) / 180
Angle in radians ≈ 1.8326
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
Length of Arc = (1.8326/360) * 2 * 3.14 * 6
Simplify the expression:
Length of Arc ≈ (0.005092 * 2 * 3.14 * 6)
Length of Arc ≈ 0.964 cm
Therefore, the length of the arc is approximately 0.964 cm.
