Question 14
Mensuration of Plane ShapesCalculate the perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius 12cm and angle 60°.
- A.(24 + 6π)cm
- B.(24 + 4π)cm
- C.(12 + 4π)cm
- D.(12 + 6π)cm
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B ((24 + 4π)cm)
Explanation
Arc = (60/360) × 2π × 12 = 4π; add the two radii (24 cm): perimeter = (24 + 4π) cm.
