The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle of a sector of a circle given that the perimeter of the sector is equal to the length of the arc of a semicircle with the same radius. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Variables**: - Let the radius of the circle be \( r \). - Let the angle of the sector be \( \theta \) (in degrees). 2. **Calculate the Perimeter of the Sector**: - The perimeter \( P \) of the sector is given by the formula: \[ P = l + 2r \] where \( l \) is the length of the arc of the sector. 3. **Calculate the Length of the Arc of the Sector**: - The length of the arc \( l \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ l = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r \] Therefore, substituting this into the perimeter formula gives: \[ P = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r + 2r \] 4. **Calculate the Length of the Arc of the Semicircle**: - The length of the arc of a semicircle with radius \( r \) is: \[ \text{Length of semicircle arc} = \pi r \] 5. **Set the Perimeter of the Sector Equal to the Length of the Semicircle Arc**: - According to the problem, we have: \[ \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r + 2r = \pi r \] 6. **Simplify the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r = \pi r - 2r \] - Factoring out \( r \) from the right side: \[ \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r = r(\pi - 2) \] - Dividing both sides by \( r \) (assuming \( r \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi = \pi - 2 \] 7. **Solve for \( \theta \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \theta = \frac{(\pi - 2) \times 360}{2\pi} \] - Simplifying further: \[ \theta = \frac{360}{2} \left(1 - \frac{2}{\pi}\right) = 180 \left(1 - \frac{2}{\pi}\right) \] 8. **Calculate the Value of \( \theta \)**: - Using the approximate value of \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ \theta \approx 180 \left(1 - \frac{2}{3.14}\right) \approx 180 \left(1 - 0.6364\right) \approx 180 \times 0.3636 \approx 65.4545 \] - Therefore, \( \theta \approx 65.45^\circ \). 9. **Convert to Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds**: - The whole number part is \( 65^\circ \). - The decimal part \( 0.4545 \times 60 \approx 27.27 \) minutes, which is approximately \( 27 \) minutes. - The decimal part \( 0.27 \times 60 \approx 16.2 \) seconds, which is approximately \( 16 \) seconds. - Thus, \( \theta \approx 65^\circ 27' 16'' \). ### Final Answer: The angle of the sector is approximately \( 65^\circ 27' 16'' \).
