If radius is 21 cm and angle at center of circle is 140° then length of arc is

  • A.42.23 cm
  • B.73.24 cm
  • C.51.31 cm
  • D.62.42 cm

Answer: C

\[ \text{arc} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r \]

\[ = \frac{140}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \]

\[ = \frac{7}{18} \times 132 = \frac{924}{18} = 51.33 \approx 51.31 \text{ cm} \]

The whole circumference is 132 cm, and \( 140^{\circ} \) is a little under four tenths of a turn - a quick check on the size of the answer.
