The diagram shows a sector of a circle with radius 15 cm.
Calculate the perimeter of this sector.

Answer:
≈ 36.81 cm ( to 2 dec. places )
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter (P) of the sector is calculated as
P = circumference of circle × fraction of circle + radii
= 2π × 15 × [tex]\frac{26}{360}[/tex] + 30
= 30π × [tex]\frac{26}{360}[/tex] + 30
= [tex]\frac{26\pi }{12}[/tex] + 30 ≈ 36.81 cm
Answer:
36.81 cm to the nearest hundredth (or 30 + 13 π / 6).
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the circle of which this sector is a part = 2 π 15
= 30 π cms
So the length of the curved part of the sector = 26 * 30 π / 360
= 2.167π
The perimeter = 2(15) + 2.167 π
= 36.81 cm.
