Question

the ratio of the length of an arc of the circle to the circumference of the circle is 3:7, if the diameter of the circle is 14cm calculate to three significant figures the (a) perimeter of the minor circle (b) area of the minor circle, take thither=22/7

Answer 1

The perimeter and area of this minor circle are equal to 32.857 units and 88.345 units² respectively.

How to calculate the perimeter of the minor circle?

First of all, we would determine the circumference of this circle by using this formula:

C = πD

C = 22/7 × 14

C = 44 units.

For the length of an arc of the circle:

Arc length/Circumference = 3/7

Arc length = 3/7 × C

Arc length = 3/7 × 44

Arc length = 18.857 units.

Now, we can calculate the perimeter:

Perimeter = 2r + arc length

Perimeter = 2(14/2) + 18.857

Perimeter = 14 + 18.857

Perimeter = 32.857 units.

The area of the minor circle.

Mathematically, the area of a minor circle is given by this formula:

Area = θr²/2

But, we would have to find the angle in radians:

18.857/32.857 = θ/360

θ = 3.6059 radians.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Area = (3.6059 × 7²)/2

Area = 88.345 units².
