Answer» Let an ARC of length be m cm subtends 20° 17’ at the center of a circle of radius 6 cm and α° at the center of a circle of radius 8 cm. Now, 20° 17’ = {20 (17/60)}° = (1217/60)° = 1217π/(60 × 180) radian [since, 180° = π radian] And α° = πα/180 radian We KNOW, the formula, s = rθ then we GET, When the circle of radius is 6 cm; m = 6 × [(1217π)/(60 × 180)] ………… (i) And when the circle of radius 8 cm; m = 8 × (πα)/180 …………… (II) Therefore, from (i) and (ii) we get; 8 × (πα)/180 = 6 × [(1217π)/(60 × 180)] Or, α = [(6/8) × (1217/60)]° Or, α = (3/4) × 20° 17’ [since, (1217/60)° = 20° 17’] Or, α = 3 × 5°4’ 15” Or, α = 15° 12’ 45”. |
