Answer:
Radius ≈ 11.364 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Convert the central angle from degrees to radians:
Radians = \(\frac{\pi}{180} \times 20°\)
Radians = \(\frac{\pi}{9}\)
Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula and solve for the radius:
Arc Length = Radius \(\times\) Central Angle
40 cm = Radius \(\times\) \(\frac{\pi}{9}\)
To solve for the radius:
Radius = \(\frac{40 \, \text{cm}}{\frac{\pi}{9}}\)
Radius = \(40 \, \text{cm} \times \frac{9}{\pi}\)
Therefore, the radius is approximately 11.364 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
the circumference (= arc length of 360°) of a circle is
2×pi×r = 2×pi×r × 360/360
now, the arc length for 20° is then
2×pi×r × 20/360 = pi×r × 40/360 = pi×r / 9
we know the result (40 cm).
so,
pi×r / 9 = 40
pi×r = 360
r = 360/pi = 114.591559... cm
