SSC CGL - 17 Sep 2024 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q56

A circular arc makes an angle of 15° at the centre. If the radius of the circular arc is 14 cm, what is the perimeter (correct up to two decimal places) of the sector so formed? (π = 3.14)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 31.66 cm.

Arc Length = (θ/360°) × 2πr

= (15°/360°) × 2 × 3.14 × 14

≈ 3.66 cm

Perimeter of sector = Arc Length + 2r

= 3.66 + 2 × 14

= 3.66 + 28

= 31.66 cm

Therefore, the perimeter of the sector is 31.66 cm.
