Question

Find the diameter of the circle which has a sector whose perimeter is 84 cm and length of arc of the sector is 56 cm.

  1. 34 cm    
  2. 25 cm    
  3. 28 cm    
  4. 36 cm    

hintHint:

perimeter = sum of the length by which the shape is created
diameter = 2 x radius

The correct answer is: 28 cm



    Perimeter of sector is given that is = 84cm
    sum of sector( arc + radius + radius ) = 84cm
    so, arc +2r = 84
    length of the arc is given that is = 56 cm
    so,  56 + 2r = 84
    2r = 84-56
    2r = 28
    so r = 28 over 2 space equals space 14cm
    so the radius = 14cm
    we know diameter = 2 cross times space r a d i u s
    diameter = 2 x 14 = 28cm is the answer
