If the arcs of the same lengths in the two circles subtend angles 65° and 110° at the center, find the ratio of their radii.

Answer»

We have l = rθ, the radius and angle are inversely proportional. Therefore;

\(\frac{\theta_1}{\theta_2} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)\(\cfrac{\frac{\pi}{180} \times 65}{\frac{\pi}{180} \times 110}\) = \(\frac{r_2}{r_1}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{13}{22} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) r1 : r2 = 22: 13
