The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the arc of a sector of a circle with a given radius and angle, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Length of arc} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r \] where: - \(\theta\) is the angle of the sector in degrees, - \(r\) is the radius of the circle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Radius (\(r\)) = 6 cm - Angle (\(\theta\)) = 60° 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ \text{Length of arc} = \frac{60}{360} \times 2\pi \times 6 \] 3. **Simplify the fraction**: \[ \frac{60}{360} = \frac{1}{6} \] 4. **Substitute the simplified value back into the formula**: \[ \text{Length of arc} = \frac{1}{6} \times 2\pi \times 6 \] 5. **Calculate the multiplication**: \[ \text{Length of arc} = \frac{1}{6} \times 12\pi = 2\pi \] 6. **Final answer**: The length of the arc is \(2\pi\) cm.
