Question

below are circles c, f, and j.
a central angle of 135° is shown in each.
answer the following.
when applicable, give the exact answer in terms of π in simplest form.
(a) for each circle, find the length of the arc that is intercepted by the central angle.
length of \\( \overparen { a b } \\) : \\( \square \\) m
length of \\( \overparen { d e } \\) : \\( \square \\) m
length of \\( \overparen { g h } \\) : \\( \square \\) m
(b) for each circle, find the ratio of the arc length to the radius.
\\( \frac { \text { length of } \overparen { a b } } { \text { radius of circle } c } = \square \\)
\\( \frac { \text { length of } \overparen { d e } } { \text { radius of circle } f } = \square \\)
\\( \frac { \text { length of } \overparen { g h } } { \text { radius of circle } j } = \square \\)
(c) the ratios suggest which of the following?
the ratios increase by \\( \frac { 3 \pi } { 4 } \\) units as the radii increase by one unit.
the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle is \\( \frac { 3 \pi } { 4 } \\) units more than the radius.
the ratios increase by one unit as the lengths of the intercepted arcs increase by \\( \frac { 3 \pi } { 4 } \\) units.
the length of the arc intercepted by a central angle is proportional to the radius.
none of these.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the arc - length formula

The formula for the length of an arc \(s\) intercepted by a central angle \(\theta\) (in degrees) in a circle of radius \(r\) is \(s=\frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r\). Given \(\theta = 135^{\circ}\).

Step2: Calculate the arc - length for circle \(C\) (\(r = 3m\))

Substitute \(r = 3\) and \(\theta=135\) into the formula:

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Step3: Calculate the arc - length for circle \(F\) (\(r = 1m\))

Substitute \(r = 1\) and \(\theta = 135\) into the formula:

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Step4: Calculate the arc - length for circle \(J\) (\(r = 2m\))

Substitute \(r = 2\) and \(\theta=135\) into the formula:

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Step5: Calculate the ratio \(\frac{s}{r}\) for circle \(C\)

\(\frac{s_{AB}}{r_C}=\frac{\frac{9\pi}{4}}{3}=\frac{3\pi}{4}\)

Step6: Calculate the ratio \(\frac{s}{r}\) for circle \(F\)

\(\frac{s_{DE}}{r_F}=\frac{\frac{3\pi}{4}}{1}=\frac{3\pi}{4}\)

Step7: Calculate the ratio \(\frac{s}{r}\) for circle \(J\)

\(\frac{s_{GH}}{r_J}=\frac{\frac{3\pi}{2}}{2}=\frac{3\pi}{4}\)

Answer:

(a) Length of \(\overset{\frown}{AB}:\frac{9\pi}{4}\text{ m}\), Length of \(\overset{\frown}{DE}:\frac{3\pi}{4}\text{ m}\), Length of \(\overset{\frown}{GH}:\frac{3\pi}{2}\text{ m}\)
(b) \(\frac{\text{Length of }\overset{\frown}{AB}}{\text{Radius of circle }C}=\frac{3\pi}{4}\), \(\frac{\text{Length of }\overset{\frown}{DE}}{\text{Radius of circle }F}=\frac{3\pi}{4}\), \(\frac{\text{Length of }\overset{\frown}{GH}}{\text{Radius of circle }J}=\frac{3\pi}{4}\)
(c) The length of the arc intercepted by a central angle is proportional to the radius.
