Chapter 3 - Section 3.4 - Arc Length and Area of a Sector - 3.4 Problem Set - Page 153: 10

Answer

$4\pi$ cm

Work Step by Step

We know that the length of the arc $s$ cut off by $\theta$ can be calculated as $s=r\theta$. We are given that $\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $r=12$ cm. Therefore, $s=\frac{\pi}{3}(12)=\frac{\pi}{3}\times12=\frac{\pi\times12}{3}=\frac{12\pi}{3}=4\pi$ cm.
