What is the length of XPY in terms of pie?
A) 30 pi m
B) 10 pi m
C) 300 pi m
D) 100 pi m

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle subtended at the centre of the circle by arc XPY is 270°
That is 360° - 90° = 270°
arc length = circumference × fraction of circle
= 2πr × [tex]\frac{270}{360}[/tex]
= 2π × 20 × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
= 40π × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = 30π m → A
Answer:
The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: The radius of the circle is 20m and central angle of arc XY is 90 degrees.
The central angle of arc XPY is
[tex]\text{Central angle of arc XPY}=360-90[/tex]
[tex]\text{Central angle of arc XPY}=270[/tex]
Multiply this angle by [tex]\frac{\pi}{180}[/tex], to convert is into radian.
[tex]\text{Central angle of arc XPY}=270\times \frac{\pi}{180}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Central angle of arc XPY}=\frac{3\pi}{2}[/tex]
The formula for arc length is
[tex]l=r\theta[/tex]
Where, r is radius and θ is central angle in radian.
[tex]l=20\times \frac{3\pi}{2}[/tex]
[tex]l=30\pi[/tex]
The length of XPY in terms of pie is 30π m. Therefore the correct option is A.
