​ 9π ​ ft

Verified Answer :

Answer:

Option 4 - \(L=9\pi ft.\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a circle with a radius of 6 ft, an arc is intercepted by a central angle of 3π/2 radians.

To find : What is the length of the arc?

Solution :

Length of an arc is given by:

\(L=r\theta\)

where r is the radius of the circle,  r= 6 ft.

and \(\theta\) is the angle in radian, \(\theta=\frac{3\pi }{2}\)

Substitute the value given in the formula,

\(L=r\theta\)   

\(L=6\times \frac{3\pi }{2}\)   

\(L=3\times3\pi\)

\(L=9\pi\)

Therefore, Option 4 is correct.

The arc of length is \(L=9\pi ft.\)

Answer:

9π ​ ft
