Consider the circle with a 4 centimeter radius. If the length of major arc RT is

64/9π, what is the measure of ∠RST?
a.20
b.25
c.30
d.40

Verified Answer :

Answer:

Option D is correct.i.e., ∠ RST = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Radius of circle, r = 4 cm

           Center of circle is S and Length of Major ARC RT = \(\frac{64}{9}\times\pi\)

To find: ∠ RST

Figure is attached

Let \(\theta\) be the ∠ RST.

we use the formula of Length of Arc,

\(Length\: of\: Arc\: =\:\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times2\pi r\)

We use this formula to find the angle made by arc RT at centre S,

\(Length\:of\:major\:Arc\:=\:\frac{360^{\circ}-\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times2\pi r\)

\(\frac{64}{9}\times\pi=\:\frac{360^{\circ}-\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times2\pi \times4\)

\(\frac{64}{9}\times\pi=\:\frac{360^{\circ}-\theta}{360^{\circ}}\times8\pi\)

\(\frac{360^{\circ}-\theta}{360^{\circ}}=\frac{64\times\pi}{9\times8\pi}\)

\(\frac{360^{\circ}-\theta}{360^{\circ}}=\frac{8}{9}\)

\(360^{\circ}-\theta=\frac{8\times360}{9}\)

\(360^{\circ}-\theta=8\times40\)

\(360^{\circ}-\theta=320\)

\(-\theta=320-360\)

\(-\theta=-40\)

\(\theta=40\)

Therefore, Option D is correct.i.e., ∠ RST = 40°
