Both circle A and circle B have a central angle measuring 140°. The ratio of the radius of circle A to the radius of circle B is 2 3 . If the length of the intercepted arc for circle A is 3 4 π, what is the length of the intercepted arc for circle B?

Respuesta :

Let 

rA--------> radius of the circle A

rB-------> radius of the circle B

LA------> the length of the intercepted arc for circle A

LB------> the length of the intercepted arc for circle B

 

we have that

rA/rB=2/3--------> rB/rA=3/2

LA=(3/4)π

 

we know that

if Both circle A and circle B have a central angle , the ratio of the radius of circle A to the radius of circle B is equals to the ratio of the length of circle A to the length of circle B

rA/rB=LA/LB--------> LB=LA*rB/rA-----> [(3/4)π*3/2]----> 9/8π

 

the answer is

the length of the intercepted arc for circle B is 9/8π
