The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the length of the arc and the area of a sector cut off from a circle with a radius of 21 cm and an angle of 150 degrees, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the formulas The formulas we need are: - Length of the arc (L) of the sector: \[ L = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r \] - Area (A) of the sector: \[ A = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2 \] ### Step 2: Substitute the known values Given: - Radius \( r = 21 \) cm - Angle \( \theta = 150^\circ \) Now we can substitute these values into the formulas. ### Step 3: Calculate the length of the arc Using the formula for the length of the arc: \[ L = \frac{150}{360} \times 2\pi \times 21 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the length calculation First, simplify \( \frac{150}{360} \): \[ \frac{150}{360} = \frac{5}{12} \] Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ L = \frac{5}{12} \times 2\pi \times 21 \] \[ = \frac{5 \times 2 \times 22}{7 \times 12} \times 21 \] \[ = \frac{10 \times 22 \times 21}{7 \times 12} \] ### Step 5: Perform the calculations Calculating \( 10 \times 22 = 220 \) and \( 220 \times 21 = 4620 \): \[ L = \frac{4620}{84} = 55 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the area of the sector Using the formula for the area of the sector: \[ A = \frac{150}{360} \times \pi \times (21)^2 \] \[ = \frac{5}{12} \times \pi \times 441 \] Substituting \( \pi = \frac{22}{7} \): \[ A = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 441 \] ### Step 7: Simplify the area calculation Calculating \( 441 \div 12 = 36.75 \): \[ A = \frac{5 \times 22 \times 36.75}{7} \] Calculating \( 5 \times 22 = 110 \): \[ A = \frac{110 \times 36.75}{7} \] Calculating \( 110 \times 36.75 = 4042.5 \): \[ A = \frac{4042.5}{7} = 577.5 \text{ cm}^2 \] ### Final Answers - Length of the arc: \( 55 \) cm - Area of the sector: \( 577.5 \) cm²
