The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the arc of a sector, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Length of Arc} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r \] where: - \(\theta\) is the angle of the sector, - \(r\) is the radius of the sector. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the given values.** - Angle of the sector, \(\theta = 30^\circ\) - Radius of the sector, \(r = 21 \, \text{cm}\) **Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula.** \[ \text{Length of Arc} = \frac{30}{360} \times 2 \pi \times 21 \] **Step 3: Simplify the fraction.** \[ \frac{30}{360} = \frac{1}{12} \] So, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \text{Length of Arc} = \frac{1}{12} \times 2 \pi \times 21 \] **Step 4: Calculate \(2 \pi \times 21\).** Using \(\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}\): \[ 2 \pi \times 21 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 = \frac{44 \times 21}{7} = \frac{924}{7} = 132 \] **Step 5: Substitute back into the equation.** \[ \text{Length of Arc} = \frac{1}{12} \times 132 \] **Step 6: Calculate the final length of the arc.** \[ \text{Length of Arc} = \frac{132}{12} = 11 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer: The length of the arc of the sector is **11 cm**. ---
