Using arc length formula (θ / 360) x 2 x π x r gives: (i) (60/360) x 2 x (22/7) x 3.5 = 11/3 = 3.67 cm, and (ii) (120/360) x 2 x (22/7) x 6.3 = 13.2 m.
Calculate the length of the arc of a circle if: (i) the radius is 3.5 cm and the angle at the centre is 60°, and (ii) the radius is 6.3 m and the angle at the centre is 120°.
