Answer:
Option A is correct
the approximate length of the minor arc is, 48 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of an arc is given by:
[tex]l = r \theta[/tex] .....[1]
here r is the radius of the circle from the center and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the angle in radian.
From the given figure, we have;
r = 23 cm
Use conversion:
1 degree = 0.0174533 radian
then
120 degree = 2.094396
[tex]\theta = 2.094396[/tex] radian.
Substitute these in [1] we have;
[tex]l = 23 \cdot 2.094396 = 48.171108[/tex] cm
Therefore, the approximate length of the minor arc is, 48 cm
