Solution:

Given Data:

Radius = 4 cm

Angle subtended at the centre 'O' = 30°

Formula to be used: Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr cm 

Length of arc = 30/360 × 2π∗4 cm = 2π/3 cm 

Therefore, the Length of arc the length of the arc that subtends an angle of 60 degrees is 2π/3 cm

 

Question: 2

Solution:

Given data: Radius = 5 cm

Length of arc = 5π/3 cm 

Formula to be used: Length of arc = θ/360 ∗ 2πr cm 

5π/3 cm = θ/360 ∗ 2πr cm

Solving the above equation, we have:

Therefore, angle subtended at the centre of circle is 60°

 

Question: 3

An arc of length cm subtends an angle of 144° at the center of the circle. 

Solution:

Given Data:

θ = Angle subtended at the centre of circle = 144°

Formula to be used:

Length of arc = θ/360 ∗ 2πr cm 

θ/360 ∗ 2πr cm = 144/360 east 2πr cm = 4π/5 ∗ r cm 

As given in the question, length of arc = cm,

Therefore, cm = 4π/5 ∗ r cm 

Solving the above equation, we have r = 25 cm.

Therefore the radius of the circle is found to be 25 cm. 

 

Question: 4

Formula to be used:

Length of arc = θ/360 ∗ 2πr cm

 = 55/36 ∗ 2πr cm 

As given in the question length of arc = 25 cm, hence,

25 cm = 55/360 ∗ 2π ∗ r cm 

25 = 11πr/36 

radius = 25∗36/11∗π = 900/11π 

Therefore, the radius of the circle is 900/11π

OAB is a right angle triangle

cos θ = adjside/hypotenuse = r/OB = OB = r sec θ

sec θ = opposite/adjside = AB/r = AB = r tan θ 

Perimeter of the shaded region = AB + BC + CA (arc)

=  r tan? + (OB - OC) + θ/360 ∗ 2πr cm
