The arc length of the circular sector is equal to
(14\pi)/(9) square units.

How to compute the arc length of a circular sector

In this problem we find the representation of a circular sector, whose arc length can be found by means of the following equation:


s = \theta \cdot r

Where:

  • r - Radius
  • θ - Central angle measure, in radians.
  • s - Arc length

And the central angle is:


\theta = (2\cdot A)/(r^2)

Where A is the area of the circular sector.

Please notice that 2π radians equals 360º and a complete revolutions means a central angle measure of 2π radians.

If we know that
A = (14\pi)/(9) and r = 2, then the area of the circular sector is the following:


\theta = (2\cdot \left((14\pi)/(9) \right))/(2^2)


\theta = (14\pi)/(18)


\theta = (7\pi)/(9)


s = (7\pi)/(9)\cdot 2


s = (14\pi)/(9)

The arc length of the circular sector is equal to
(14\pi)/(9) square units.
