Find the arc length of the partial circle. either enter an exact term in terms of π or use 3.14 for π and enter your answer as a decimal
Answers
Radius = 8 cm
Theta = 90°
Length of arc = Theta/360° × 2πr
=> 90°/360° × 2 × 3.14 × 8
=> 1/4 × 2 × 3.14 × 8
=> 50.24/4
=> 12.56 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
Radius of the circle is 8 units
To find :-
Find the length of the arc ?
Solution:-
Radius of the given circle = 8 units
Angle subtended by the arc at the centre =90°
The length of the arc is "l" units ,the radius "r" units and the angle subtended by the arc at the centre is "X° " is (X°/360°)×2πr units
We have r = 8 units X°=90°
π=3.14
On Substituting the values in the above formula
=>l= (90°/360°)×2×π×8 units
=>l=(1/4)×2×π×8
=>l=(2×π×8)/4
=>l=16π/4
=>l=4π units
(or)
=>l=4×3.14
=>l=12.56 units
(or)
Radius (r)=8 units
Angle (X°)=90°
Given figure is the 1/4th of the circle
so length of the arc is the 1/4 th of the Circumference of the circle
=>(1/4)×2πr
=>2πr/4
=>πr/2
Length of the given arc = πr/2 units
=>l=π×8/2
=>l= 4πunits
(or)
=>l=4×3.14 units
=>l=12.56 units
Answer:-
The arc length of the given partial circle is 4π units or 12.56 units
Used formulae:-
- The length of the arc is "l" units ,the radius "r" units and the angle subtended by the arc at the centre is "X° " is (X°/360°)×2πr units
- Circumference of the circle = 2πr units
- π=3.14
