What is the arc length of a circle that has a 7-centimeter radius and a central angle that is 40 degrees? use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 0.70 centimeter 4.88 centimeters 7.40 centimeters 280.01 centimeters?

Respuesta :

Arc Length of a sector with 40° as central angle= 2πR¶/ 360
= 2*3.14*7*40/360
= 4.8 cm
= 5 cm(approx)

Answer:

The arc length is 4.88 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the arc length of a circle formula is,

[tex]l = r\times \theta[/tex]

Where, r is the radius of the circle,

[tex]\theta[/tex] is the central angle ( in radians ) by the arc,

Given,

[tex]r=7\text{ cm}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 40^{\circ}=\frac{\pi}{180}\times 40 = \frac{3.14}{180}\times 40=\frac{125.6}{180}\text{ radians}[/tex]

[tex]\because \pi\text{ radians}=180\text{ degrees}[/tex]

Hence, the arc length would be,

[tex]l=7\times \frac{125.6}{180}=\frac{879.2}{180}=4.8844\approx 4.88\text{ cm}[/tex]
