[SPM Add Maths Circular Measure SMKA & SABK Paper 1] How to solve this question?

Question

(b) Rajah 4(b) menunjukkan seutas dawai yang berbentuk bulatan dengan jejari 9cm dibengkokkan untuk membentuk sebuah sektor AOB dengan pusat O dan berjejari 12cm.

Cari sudut bagi sektor AOB dalam radian. [guna \pi = 3.142] [3 markah]

Answer

Hi Farhaini,
For this question, initially, the wire is in a circular shape as shown in the left diagram, then it is reshaped to form the arc on the right. This means that the perimeter of the circle = the perimeter of the sector.

We know that the perimeter of the circle is 2\pi r, and the perimeter of sector is 2r+r\theta, where r\theta is the length of the arc. So we equate these two to find \theta, which is the angle of sector AOB.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:
