In a circle of diameter 40cm,the length of a chord is 20cm.find the length of minor archof the chord
Open in App
Solution
Diameter of the circle = 40 cm then radius = 20 cm Length of chord = 20cm the triangle formed by joining the chord and 2 lines (radius) from the center to sides of chord is an equilateral triangle with each side = 20cm So angle Θ = 60° Now length of the arc is I = rΘ = 20(60°*п(pi) /180°) = 20π/3cm
