arc length = radius x radians= 10 cm x pi/3 = 10pi/3 cm
= about 10.472 cm

asked 09/05/24Find the length of the arc which is opposite to an inscribed angle of measure 60° , in a circle whose radius length is 10 cm
Pplease help me I don’t understand how the solve the question 🙁 Thank you very much for the help 🥹

Use the formulas
S = rθ If θ is in radians
S= πr(θ/180°) if θ is in degrees
Where S = the arc length
r = the radius
θ = the central angle measurement
Note that the central angle is twice the inscribed angle or 120° in this case
This can all be thought about being part of the circumference of a full circle
C = diameter × π = 2 r π where θ = 2π = 360°

The central angle subtended by the same arc will be twice the inscribed angle. Therefore, the central angle will be 120°.
The arc length consists of 120°/360°, or 1/3 of the circumference of the circle. The circumference of a circle can be found using the formula 2πr. So,
Arc length L = 1/3 * 2πr = 1/3 * 2π(10)
L = 20π/3 cm
