Find the length of an arc of a circle of radius 5 cm subtending a central angle measuring 15°.

Answer»

Let s be the length of the arc subtending an angle θc at the center of a circle of radius r.

Then,

θ = \(\frac{s}{r}\)

Here, 

r = 5 and θ = 15°

\((15\times\frac{\pi}{180})^c\)

\((\frac{\pi}{12})^c\)

θ = \(\frac{s}{r}\)

⇒ \(\frac{\pi}{12}=\frac{s}{5}\)

⇒ s = \(\frac{5\pi}{12}\) cm
