How Would I Find The Length Of The Highlighted Arc In The Circle Also I Need To Know How I Would Right The Answer Using Pi As The Symbol class=

Sagot :

The rule of the length of the arc of a circle is

[tex]L=\frac{x^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\times2\pi r[/tex]

Where

x is the central angle subtended by the arc

r is the radius of the circle

From the given figure

The radius is 3 units, then

r = 3

The central angle of the highlight arc is a right angle, then

x = 90 degrees

Substitute them in the rule above

[tex]\begin{gathered} L=\frac{90}{360}\times2\times\pi\times3 \\ \\ L=\frac{1}{4}\times6\pi \\ \\ L=\frac{6}{4}\pi \\ \\ L=\frac{3}{2}\pi \\ \\ L=1.5\pi\text{ unit} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The length of the highlight arc is 1.5pi units
