A circle's center is at (2 ,4 )(2,4) and it passes through (8 ,3 )(8,3). What is the length of an arc covering ( pi ) /3 π3 radians on the circle?

Given that coordinate of the center of a circle is (2,4)(2,4) and the coordinate of another point on it is (8,3)(8,3).

"So its radius"(r)=sqrt((8-2)^2+(3-4)^2)=sqrt37So its radius(r)=(82)2+(34)2=37

So length of the arc (S) covering pi/3π3 radian on circle will be

S=rxx"angle"=sqrt37xxpi/3=6.37unitS=r×angle=37×π3=6.37unit
