Find the length of the given arc. (the bolded portion of the arc)
A)
343π/8 cm
B)49π
C)
45π/8
D)
49π/4

Answer:
Option D) 49π/4
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the circumference of the circle
The circumference of the circle is equal to
[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]
where
r is the radius
we have
[tex]r=7\ cm[/tex]
substitute
[tex]C=2\pi(7)[/tex]
[tex]C=14\pi\ cm[/tex]
step 2
Find the length of the given arc
we know that
The circumference of the circle subtends a central angle of 360 degrees
so
using proportion
Find out the length of the arc by a central angle of 315 degrees
Let
x ----> the length of the given arc
[tex]\frac{14\pi}{360}=\frac{x}{315}\\\\x=14\pi(315)/360\\\\x=\frac{4,410\pi}{360}\ cm[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\frac{49\pi}{4}\ cm[/tex]
