Since OAB is a sector of a circle, the radius of the circle rounded to 2 decimal places is 84.02 centimeters.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the arc length formed by a circle can be calculated by using the following equation (formula):

Arc length = 2πr × θ/360

Where:

  • r represents the radius of a circle.
  • θ represents the central angle.

Since OAB is a sector of the circle, the radius of the circle can be calculated as follows;

Arc length = 2πr × θ/360

192 = 2 × 3.14 × r × 131/360

69120 = 822.68r

Radius, r = 69120/822.68

Radius, r = 84.0181 ≈ 84.02 centimeters.
