Given:


3)\theta=120^0,radius(r)=9cm

To Determine: The length of the minor and the major arc and the area of the sector


\begin{gathered} Length\text{ of an arc} \\ =(\theta)/(360^0)*2\pi r \\ 3)minorarclength=(120^0)/(360^0)*2\pi*9cm=6\pi cm \\ Area\text{ of sector=}(\theta)/(360^0)*\pi r^2=(120^0)/(360^0)*\pi(9cm)^2=27\pi cm^2 \\ majorarclength=2\pi r-6\pi=2\pi*9-6\pi=18\pi-6\pi=12\pi cm \end{gathered}
