Question 29

waecmaths question: 

. Find the angle which an arc of length 22cm subtends at the centre of a circle of radius 15cm [Take $\pi =\tfrac{22}{7}$]

Option A: 

70o 

Option B: 

84o

Option C: 

96o

Option D: 

156o

waecmaths solution: 

$\begin{align}  & l=2cm \\ & r=15cm \\ & l=\frac{\theta }{360{}^\circ }\times 2\pi r \\ & 22=\frac{\theta }{360{}^\circ }\times 2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 15 \\ & \theta =\frac{22\times 360{}^\circ \times 7}{2\times 22\times 15}=84{}^\circ  \\\end{align}$
