Q. the sector of a circle shown at left has center at o. The radius of the circular sector is 10 and the area of the sector is 75. What is the length of the arcxyz?
Sector Area Formula: The area of a sector of a circle is given by the formula A=21r2θ, where A is the area of the sector, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the central angle in radians.Given:Radius (r) = 10Area of the sector (A) = 75We need to find the central angle θ in radians first.Using the formula for the area of a sector, we can solve for θ:75=21×102×θ
Calculate Central Angle: Now, we calculate the value of θ:75=21×100×θ75=50×θθ=5075θ=23 radians
Arc Length Formula: The length of the arc (L) of a sector is given by the formula L=rθ, where L is the arc length, r is the radius, and θ is the central angle in radians.We have:Radius (r) = 10Central angle (θ) = 23 radiansNow we can calculate the length of the arc L:L=10×23
Calculate Arc Length: Calculating the length of the arc L:L=10×23L=15The length of the arc XYZ is 15 units.
