The radius of the circle whose arc of length `15\ pi` cm makes an angle of `(3pi)/4` radians at the centre is

A

5 cm

B

10 cm

C

15 cm

D

20 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Here, агc length `l=15 pi cm`

Angle `theta=frac{3 pi}{4}`

We know, angle subtended by the arc is given by,

`theta=frac{text { length of arc }}{text { radius }}`

`therefore` radius `=frac{1}{theta}`

`=frac{15 pi}{3 pi} times 4`

`=20 cm`
