The chord ST of a circle is equal to the radius, r, of the circle. Find the length of arc ST.

A.

πr/6

B.

πr/2

C.

πr/12

D.

πr/3

Correct Answer: πr/3

Explanation

Since ST = the radius r, => SOT is equilateral. Each angle = 60° Length of arc ST = θ/360 x 2πr = 60/360 x 2 x π x r = πr/3

Since ST = the radius r, => SOT is equilateral. Each angle = 60° Length of arc ST = θ/360 x 2πr = 60/360 x 2 x π x r = πr/3
