Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsIdentify the given values and the formula for the perimeter of a sector.
The total rope length represents the perimeter of the sector.
The perimeter of a sector is given by the formula , where is the radius and is the arc length.
Given:
Perimeter cm
Radius cm (interpreting "c.2 cm" as 2 cm)Calculate the arc length .
Substitute the given values into the perimeter formula:
Subtract 4 from both sides to find :
Calculate the angle of the sector in radians.
The formula for arc length is , where is the angle in radians.
Substitute the values for and :Divide by 2 to find :
The size of the angle of the sector is .
