The chord ST of a circle is equal to the radius r of the circle. Find the length of the arc ST.
Worked solution (try it first)
The chord and the two radii to
S and
T are all
r, so that triangle is equilateral and the arc makes
60∘ at the centre.
Arc length is
360∘θ×2πr, so the arc is
36060×2πr.
That simplifies to
3πr, option B.
