The area of the sector of a circle of radius 12 cm is 32 π cm². Find the length of the corresponding arc of the sector.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. π cm.
Given that
The area of the sector of a circle of radius (r = 12 cm) is 32 π cm²
Formula used
The area of the sector of a circle = (θ/360°) × πr2
Arc of the sector = rθ × (π/180°)
Calculation
⇒ 32 π = (θ/360°) × πr2
⇒ 32 = (θ/360°) × 122
⇒ θ/360° = 32/144
⇒ θ = 80º
Hence, the arc of the sector = 12 × 80 × (π/180) = π cm
