Q. In circle Q,QR=12 Q, Q R=12 and mRQS=20 \mathrm{m} \angle R Q S=20^{\circ} . Find the length of RS R S . Express your answer as a fraction times π \pi .
  1. Calculate Arc Length Formula: To find RS, we need to use the formula for the arc length, which is (θ/360)×2πr(\theta/360) \times 2\pi r, where θ\theta is the central angle in degrees and rr is the radius of the circle.
  2. Determine Radius: Since QRQR is the radius and QR=12QR=12, we have r=12r=12.
  3. Find Central Angle: The central angle θ\theta is twice the given angle m/_RQSm/\_RQS because the angle at the center of a circle is twice any angle at the circumference standing on the same arc. So, θ=2×m/_RQS=2×20=40\theta=2\times m/\_RQS=2\times 20=40 degrees.
  4. Calculate Arc Length RS: Now we can calculate the arc length RS: RS=(θ/360)×2πr=(40/360)×2π×12RS = (\theta/360) \times 2\pi r = (40/360) \times 2\pi\times12.
  5. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 40360\frac{40}{360} to 19\frac{1}{9}.
  6. Multiply by 2πr2\pi r: Now multiply (1/9)(1/9) by 2π122\pi\cdot 12 to get RS: RS=(1/9)2π12=(2/9)π12RS = (1/9) \cdot 2\pi\cdot 12 = (2/9) \cdot \pi \cdot 12.
  7. Final Calculation: Finally, multiply (2/9)(2/9) by 1212 to get RS: RS=(2/9)×π×12=(24/9)×π=(8/3)×πRS = (2/9) \times \pi \times 12 = (24/9) \times \pi = (8/3) \times \pi.
