SSC CGL - 25 Sep 2024 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

A circular arc whose radius is 14 cm, makes an angle of 45° at the centre. Find the perimeter (in cm) of the sector. (Use π=227\pi=\frac{22}{7})

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 39.

We know that,

l = θ/360 × 2πr

here, l = arc length, r = radius

Now,

⇒ l = 45/360 × 2 × 22/7 × 14

⇒ l = 1/8 × 2 × 22 × 2

⇒ l = 88/8

⇒ l = 11 cm

So,

Perimeter = l + 2r

⇒ 11 + 2 × 14

⇒ 11 + 28 = 39 cm
