A sector is cut-off from a circle of radius $ 21 \mathrm{~cm} $. The angle of the sector is $ 120^{\circ} $. Find the length of its arc and the area.
Given:
Radius of the circle $r=21 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Angle subtended by the arc $=120^{\circ}$
To do:
We have to find the length of the arc and area of the sector.
Solution:
Let the length of the arc be $l$.
We know that,
Length of arc $=2 \pi r(\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}})$
Therefore,
Length of the arc $l=2 \times \pi \times 21 \times \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \mathrm{cm}$
$=42 \pi \times \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{cm}$
$=14 \pi \mathrm{cm}$
$=14 \times \frac{22}{7} \mathrm{cm}$
$=44 \mathrm{~cm}$
Area of the sector $=\pi r^{2} \times \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}$
$=\frac{22}{7}(21)^{2} \times \frac{120^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 \times \frac{1}{3}$
$=462 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
The length of the arc and area of the sector are $44 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $462 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$ respectively.
