Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} \text{length of arc MN = 3}\pi cm \\ \text{length of arc }RE\text{ = }6\pi cm \\ \text{angle subtended at the center = }30 \end{gathered}`

The subtended by both arcs is the same

From the length of arc formula:

`\text{length of arc = }(\theta)/(360)\text{ }*\text{ 2}\pi r`

Let us walk through the options to check which is correct

Radius of the larger circle:

`\begin{gathered} r\text{ = }\frac{l*\text{ 360}}{\theta\text{ }*\text{ 2}\pi} \\ =\text{ }\frac{6\pi\text{ }*\text{ 360}}{30\text{ }*\text{ 2}\pi} \\ =\text{ 36 }cm \end{gathered}`

Radius of the smaller circle:

`\begin{gathered} r\text{ = }\frac{l*\text{ 360}}{\theta\text{ }*\text{ 2}\pi} \\ =\text{ }\frac{3\pi\text{ }*\text{ 360}}{30\text{ }*\text{ 2}\pi} \\ =\text{ 18 }cm \end{gathered}`

The length of the segment NE:

This is difference between the radius of the larger circle and that of the smaller circle:

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ }36\text{ - 18} \\ =\text{ 18 }cm \end{gathered}`

The length of the segment MR:

This is difference between the radius of the larger circle and that of the smaller circle:

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ 36 - 18} \\ =\text{ 18 }cm \end{gathered}`

The circumference of the larger circle:

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ 2}\pi r \\ =\text{ 2 }*\text{ }\pi\text{ }*\text{ 36} \\ =\text{ 72}\pi cm \end{gathered}`

Hence, the statements that are correct are:

Statement 2

Statement 4

Statement 5
