  1. In a circle of radius 21 cm, an arc subtends an angle of 72° at the centre. The length of the arc is
    1. 21.6 cm
    2. 26.4 cm
    3. 13.2 cm
    4. 19.8 cm
Correct Option: B

Here , Rradius ( r ) = 21 cm

θ = 72° = 72 ×
π
radians
180

θ =
radians

As we know that ,
∴ θ =
l
r

l → length of arc
⇒ l = θ.r =
× 21

l =
2
×
22
× 21
57

l =
132
= 26.4 cm.
