The equation in Question 4 shows a relationship between the length of arc EF in circle AB and the radius of circle AB. So, for a given central angle, what does the length of the arc it intersects depend on?

Respuesta :

For a given central angle,  the length of the arc it intersects depends on the radius of the circle and the central angle.

What is the Length of an Arc?

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The arc length is the measurement of how long an arc is. The length of an arc is given by the formula,

Length of an Arc = 2π×R×(θ°/360°)

where

θ is the angle, that which arc creates at the center of the circle in degree.

The measurement of the length of an arc formed by a central angle that intersects the circle at two points is given as,

[tex]\rm {Length\ of\ the\ arc} = 2\pi \times \text{Radius of the circle}\times \dfrac{\text{(Measurement of central angle)}}{360^o}[/tex]

Now, the length of the arc EF will be,

Arc EF = 2π × (AB) × (θ/360°)

Where θ is the measurement of the central angle.

Hence, For a given central angle,  the length of the arc it intersects depends on the radius of the circle and the central angle.
