PLEASE HELP!Both circle A and circle B have a central angle measuring 140°. The ratio of the radius of circle A to the radius of circle B is 2/3. If the length of the intercepted arc for circle A is 3/4π, what is the length of the intercepted arc for circle B?
Question
Answer:
The arc length is:S = R * theta
Where,
R: Radio
Theta: central angle
Substituting values we have:
Circle A:
Sa = Ra * (140/360) * 2π
Circle B:
Sb = Rb * (140/360) * 2π
The relationship of arcs is:
Sa / Sb = (Ra * (140/360) * 2π) / (Rb * (140/360) * 2π)
Rewriting:
Sa / Sb = (Ra / Rb)
Substituting values:
(3 / 4π) / Sb = 2/3
Clearing Sb
Sb = (3/2) (3 / 4π)
Sb = (9 / 8π)
Answer:
The length of the intercepted arc for circle B is:
Sb = (9 / 8π)
