Find the length of the arc and express your answer as a fraction times pie

Elina [12.6K]

Solution:

Given a circle of center, A with radius, r (AB) = 6 units

Where, the area, A, of the shaded sector, ABC, is 9π

To find the length of the arc, firstly we will find the measure of the angle subtended by the sector.

To find the area, A, of a sector, the formula is

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times\pi r^2 \\ Where\text{ r}=AB=6\text{ units} \\ A=9\pi\text{ square units} \end{gathered}$

Substitute the values of the variables into the formula above to find the angle, θ, subtended by the sector.

$\begin{gathered} 9\pi=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times\pi\times6^2 \\ Crossmultiply \\ 9\pi\times360=36\pi\times\theta \\ 3240\pi=36\pi\theta \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 36}\pi \\ \frac{3240\pi}{36\pi}=\frac{36\pi\theta}{36\pi} \\ 90\degree=\theta \\ \theta=90\degree \end{gathered}$

To find the length of the arc, s, the formula is

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times2\pi r \\ Where \\ \theta=90\degree \\ r=6\text{ units} \end{gathered}$

Substitute the variables into the formula to find the length of an arc, s above

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r \\ s=\frac{90\degree}{360\degree}\times2\times\pi\times6 \\ s=\frac{12\pi}{4}=3\pi\text{ units} \\ s=3\pi\text{ units} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the length of the arc, s, is 3π units.
