A chord subtends an angle of 120o at the centre of a circle of radius 3.5cm. Find the perimeter of the minor sector containing the chord, [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]
-
14\(\frac{1}{3}\)cm
- 12\(\frac{5}{6}\)cm
- 8\(\frac{1}{7}\)cm
- 7\(\frac{1}{3}\)cm
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
perimeter of minor sector2r + \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r\)
= 2 x 3.5 + \(\frac{120^o}{360^o} \times 2 \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5\)
= 7 + \(\frac{154}{21}\)
= 7 + 7.33
= 14.33
= 14\(\frac{1}{3}\)cm
