An arc subtends an angle of 72\(^o\) at the centre of a circle. Find the length of the arc if the radius of the circle is 3.5 cm. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}...

Answer Details

To find the length of the arc, we need to use the formula: Length of arc = \(\frac{\text{angle subtended by the arc}}{360^\circ} \times 2\pi r\) Here, the angle subtended by the arc is 72\(^o\) and the radius of the circle is 3.5 cm. We can substitute these values in the formula to get: Length of arc = \(\frac{72^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5\) cm Simplifying this expression, we get: Length of arc = \(\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{44}{7} \times 3.5\) cm Length of arc = \(\frac{22}{5}\) cm Length of arc = 4.4 cm (approx.) Therefore, the length of the arc is 4.4 cm (option C).
