Answer:
B) 68.91 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, lets define what we are trying to find. VYX is the major arc VX, spanning from V to X crossing over Y.
We are also given that the diameter is 28 inches.
Since arc length and area are proportional to the central angle, we can create the following equality:
angle of VYX/360 = arc length of VYX/circumference
We know that the central angle of VYX = central angle of minor UV + UYX = 117 + (180-15) = 282 degrees.
282/360 * 28*pi = arc length of VYX
Thus, the length of VYX = 68.90559887 inches
Thus, the correct answer is B, 68.91 in.
