Question

In circle O, the length of OB is 6 inches, and the measure of ∠AOB is 120°. What is the length of arc AB, in inches (show your answer in terms of π)? *

Answer 1

4π inches

Explanation:

Formula for finding length of arc AB = θ/360*2πr

Where,

Central angle (θ) = 120°

Radius (r) = 6 inches

Length of arc AB = 120/360*2*π*6

Length for arc AB = ⅓*12π

= 4π inches
