Math Problem Statement

find angle substended at the centre of circle by an arc of length 11cm if radius is 21cm

Solution

The angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc can be found using the formula:

θ=Lr\theta = \frac{L}{r}

Where:

  • θ\theta is the angle in radians,
  • LL is the length of the arc, and
  • rr is the radius of the circle.

Given:

  • Arc length (LL) = 11 cm,
  • Radius (rr) = 21 cm,

Substitute the values into the formula:

θ=1121\theta = \frac{11}{21}

θ=0.5238 radians\theta = 0.5238 \text{ radians}

Thus, the angle subtended at the center of the circle by the arc is approximately 0.5238 radians.

  2. What is the formula for finding the length of an arc given the angle and radius?
  3. How do we find the area of a sector of a circle using the angle?
  4. What happens to the subtended angle if the radius is doubled while keeping the arc length constant?
  5. How can we find the angle subtended at the center if the perimeter of the sector is given?

Tip: To convert an angle from radians to degrees, use the conversion: 1 radian=180π degrees1 \text{ radian} = \frac{180}{\pi} \text{ degrees}.
