Answer:
AB = 3π
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the circumference of a circle is:
C = 2πr
By substituting 27 for r:
C = 2π(27)
C = 54π
The whole circumference is 54π. A circle is 360º around. We can set up a proportion to find the length of the 20º arc:
[tex]\frac{360}{54p}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{x}[/tex]
Cross-multiply:
360x = 1080π
Divide both sides by 360:
x = 3π
AB = 3π
Answer:
AB = 3π
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc AB can be calculated as
AB = circumference of circle × fraction of circle
The central angle is equal to the measure of arc AB = 20° , thus
AB = 2πr × [tex]\frac{20}{360}[/tex]
= 2π × 27 × [tex]\frac{1}{18}[/tex] ( cancel 18 and 27 by 9 )
= 2π × 3 × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 6π × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 3π
