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 |
