Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the length of the arc of a circle with a radius of 10 cm that subtends an angle of 60 degrees at the center?
  • Step 1: Identify the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius (r) is 10 cm.
  • Step 2: Identify the angle subtended at the center of the circle. Here, the angle (θ) is 60 degrees.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the length of an arc, which is L = (θ/360) * 2πr.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula. So, L = (60/360) * 2π(10).
  • Step 5: Simplify the fraction 60/360 to get 1/6.
  • Step 6: Calculate 2π(10) to get 20π.
  • Step 7: Now multiply (1/6) by 20π to get (1/6) * 20π.
  • Step 8: This simplifies to 20π/6, which can be further simplified to 10π/3.
  • Step 9: To find the approximate length, calculate 10π/3, which is about 10.47 cm.
