If the radius of a circle is 10 feet, how long is the arc subtended by an angle measuring 81°? A) 9π feet B) 2 9 π feet C) 9 5 π feet D) 9 2 π feet

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option D. [tex]\frac{9}{2}\pi \ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the circumference of the circle

The circumference of a circle is equal to

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

we have

[tex]r=10\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]C=2\pi (10)=20\pi\ ft[/tex]

step 2

we know that

360° subtends the complete circle of length 2πr.

so

By proportion

Find the length of the arc subtended by an angle measuring 81°

[tex]\frac{20\pi }{360}= \frac{x}{81}\\ \\x=20\pi (81)/360\\ \\x= \frac{9}{2}\pi \ ft[/tex]
