Answer 1

The correct answer is 3.5 cm

Answer 2

3.5 cm

Explanation:

In the picture attached, circle M is shown.

From the picture, minor arc JH measures 25°.

The length of the circle is π*Diameter = π*16 = 50.26 cm. This length is proportional to 360°. To find the length of minor arc JH, we have to use the next proportion:

50.26 cm / x cm = 360° / 25°

x = 50.26*25/360

x = 3.5 cm
