In a circle with a radius of 4 centimeters, what is the length of an arc intercepted by a central angle of 2.5 radians?A. 18 cmB. 16 cmC. 10 cmD. 9 cm

Respuesta :

Given the radius of the circle = 4 cm.

The arc is intercepted by a central angle of 2.5 radians.

So,

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=4\operatorname{cm} \\ \theta=2.5\text{ rad.} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The length of the arc is given by the formula:

[tex]A=\theta\cdot r[/tex]

Substitute with the given values;

[tex]A=2.5\cdot4=10\operatorname{cm}[/tex]

So, the answer will be option C. 10 cm
