When circles have the same central angle measure, the ratio of the lengths of the intercepted arcs is the same as the ratio of the radii.

When circles have the same central angle measure, the ratio of the lengths of the intercepted arcs is the same as the ratio of the radii.
Answer:
The correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the radius of circle B be x.
It is given that circles A and B have a central angle measuring 100°. The length of the intercepted arc for circle A is [tex]\frac{35}{9}\pi[/tex] meters and for circle B is [tex]\frac{25}{3}\pi[/tex] meters.
The formula of length of arc is
[tex]l=r\theta[/tex]
[tex]\theta =\frac{l}{r}[/tex]
Since central angel is same for both angles, therefore
[tex]\frac{l_1}{r_1}=\frac{l_2}{r_2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\frac{35}{9}\pi}{7}=\frac{\frac{25}{3}\pi}{x}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{35}{9\times 7}\pi={\frac{25}{3\times x}\pi[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{9}\pi=\frac{25}{3x}\pi[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{25}{3}\times \frac{9}{5}=15[/tex]
The radius of circle B is 15 meters. Therefore the option C is correct.
