A sector of a circle has central angle 120 degrees and arc length 10π
centimeters. What is the radius of the circle

Respuesta :

Answer:

the radius = 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let r be the radius of the circle.

→ We know that in circle , the length of an arc

and the corresponding central angle are proportional.

180 corresponds to πr

120 corresponds to 10π

Then

[tex]\frac{\uppi r}{180} =\frac{10\uppi }{120}[/tex]

[tex]\Longrightarrow r=\frac{180\times 10\pi }{120\pi } =\frac{180}{12} =15[/tex]
