Q. Given a circle of diameter 21cm, determine the arc length subtended by a central angle of 1.2 rad. Answer to the nearest tenth.
Calculate Arc Length Formula: question_prompt: What's the arc length of a circle with a 21cm diameter when the central angle is 1.2 rad?
Find Radius: The formula for arc length is l=r×θ, where r is the radius and θ is the central angle in radians.
Plug Radius and Angle: First, find the radius of the circle by dividing the diameter by 2. So, r=221=10.5 cm.
Calculate Arc Length: Now, plug the radius and the central angle into the arc length formula. So, l=10.5×1.2.
Calculate Arc Length: Now, plug the radius and the central angle into the arc length formula. So, l=10.5×1.2. Calculate the arc length: l=10.5×1.2=12.6 cm.
