A circle has a center at (7 ,6 ) and passes through (2 ,1 ). What is the length of an arc covering pi radians on the circle?

1 Answer

length of arc=5pisqrt2

Explanation:

compute the radius r first using the two points (7, 6) and (2, 1)

r=sqrt((7-2)^2+(6-1)^2)=sqrt(5^2+5^2)=sqrt(2(25))=5sqrt2

arc s=r theta

s=(5sqrt2)*pi

s=5*pi*sqrt2
