Sagot :
Given:
The radius of the circle is 14 cm.
The length of an arc of a circle is one-eighth the circumference of the circle.
To find:
The angle subtended by this arc at the center.
Solution:
Formula for arc length is:
[tex]s=2\pi r\times \dfrac{\theta }{360^\circ}[/tex] ...(i)
Where, r is the radius and [tex]\theta [/tex] is the central angle.
The length of an arc of a circle is one-eighth the circumference of the circle.
[tex]s=\dfrac{1}{8}(2\pi r)[/tex] ...(ii)
Where, [tex]2\pi r[/tex] is the circumference of the circle.
Using (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]2\pi r\times \dfrac{\theta }{360^\circ}=\dfrac{1}{8}(2\pi r)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{\theta }{360^\circ}=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\theta =\dfrac{360^\circ}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\theta =45^\circ[/tex]
Therefore, the central angle is 45 degrees.
