The circumference of a circle is given by the formula 2pi*r
.
The actual length of the cicumference =
64.
Therefore 2pir = 64 cm.
An angle
of 30 degrees = pi/6 radians.
Therefore the length of an arc which
subtends an angle of x radians at the centre should measure x*radius =
xr.
Therefore an arc subtending pi/6 radians should measure
pi*r/6.
But 2pir = 64 cm given.
Divide
both sides by 12 :
2pir/12 =
64/12.
Therefore pir/6 = 64/12 cm = 5 1/3
cm
Therefore an arc angle of 30 degrees of a circle whose
circumference is 64 measure 5 1/3 cm or 5.33cm nearly.
