A circle has a chord that goes from pi/3 π3 to pi/2 π2 radians on the circle. If the area of the circle is 49 pi 49π, what is the length of the chord?

3.7 units

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given as pir^2πr2 . So for this case the radius is 7.

The angle that the chord holds at the centre is pi/2-pi/3 = pi/6π2π3=π6 So the length of the chord is 2*7sin(pi/12)~~3.727sin(π12)3.7
