Question

Find the length of an arc that subtends a central angle of 224° in a circle of radius 20 m

Answer 1

78.2m

Explanation:

Lenght of the arc= ( circumference) × ( fraction of the circle)

Circumference=2πr = 2×20×π

Radius=20 m

fraction of the circle can be calculated as 224°/360°= 0.662

Then substitute the values we have

Lenght of the arc=

(2×20×π) ×0.662

= 78.2,

Lenght of the arc is 78.2m
