Question 29

Mensuration of Plane Shapes

If the angle of a sector of a circle with radius 10.5 cm is 120°, find the perimeter of the sector. [π = 22/7]

  1. A.48 cm
  2. B.40cm
  3. C.43cm
  4. D.45cm
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (43cm)

Explanation

Arc length = (120/360) × 2 × (22/7) × 10.5 = 22 cm. Perimeter = 22 + 2 × 10.5 = 43 cm.
