The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to use the formula for the length of an arc of a circle: \[ l = \frac{x}{360} \times 2 \pi r \] Given: - \( l = 4\pi \) cm - \( r = 18 \) cm We need to find the value of \( x \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ 4\pi = \frac{x}{360} \times 2\pi \times 18 \] 2. **Simplify the right side:** - First, calculate \( 2\pi \times 18 \): \[ 2\pi \times 18 = 36\pi \] - Now substitute this back into the equation: \[ 4\pi = \frac{x}{360} \times 36\pi \] 3. **Cancel \( \pi \) from both sides:** \[ 4 = \frac{x}{360} \times 36 \] 4. **Multiply both sides by 360 to eliminate the fraction:** \[ 4 \times 360 = x \times 36 \] \[ 1440 = 36x \] 5. **Divide both sides by 36 to solve for \( x \):** \[ x = \frac{1440}{36} \] 6. **Calculate \( \frac{1440}{36} \):** - Perform the division: \[ x = 40 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 40 \). ---
