Respuesta :

step 1

Find out the circumference

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

where

r=10 cm

substitute

[tex]\begin{gathered} C=2\pi(10) \\ C=20\pi\text{ cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Remember that

The circumference subtends a central angle of 2pi radians

so

Applying proportion

Find out the central angle by an arc length of 40 cm

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2\pi}{20\pi}=\frac{x}{40} \\ \\ x=4\text{ rad} \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore

The answer is 4 radians Option B
