Okay, Samadhi, let's re-solve this using π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7} and clearly separating the arc length and radius calculations.

  1. Define the perimeter of a sector.

    The perimeter PP of a sector is given by the sum of its two radii and its arc length LL:

    P=2r+LP = 2r + L

    We are given P=260P = 260 cm.

  2. Express the arc length LL in terms of the radius rr.

    The sector is 23\frac{2}{3} of a circle. The circumference of a full circle is C=2πrC = 2\pi r.
    Therefore, the arc length LL is 23\frac{2}{3} of the circumference:

    L=23(2πr)L = \frac{2}{3} (2\pi r)

    Substitute π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}:

    L=23(2×227×r)L = \frac{2}{3} \left(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r\right) L=23(447r)L = \frac{2}{3} \left(\frac{44}{7} r\right) L=8821rL = \frac{88}{21} r

    This is the expression for the arc length in terms of rr.

  3. Find the radius rr.

    Substitute the expression for LL into the perimeter formula:

    260=2r+8821r260 = 2r + \frac{88}{21} r

    Factor out rr:

    260=r(2+8821)260 = r \left(2 + \frac{88}{21}\right)

    Find a common denominator for the terms inside the parenthesis:

    260=r(2×2121+8821)260 = r \left(\frac{2 \times 21}{21} + \frac{88}{21}\right) 260=r(4221+8821)260 = r \left(\frac{42}{21} + \frac{88}{21}\right) 260=r(42+8821)260 = r \left(\frac{42 + 88}{21}\right) 260=r(13021)260 = r \left(\frac{130}{21}\right)

    Now, solve for rr:

    r=260×21130r = \frac{260 \times 21}{130} r=2×21r = 2 \times 21 r=42r = 42

    The radius of the sector is 42 cm\boxed{\text{42 cm}}.

  4. Find the arc length LL.

    Now that we have the radius r=42r = 42 cm, we can calculate the arc length LL using the formula from Step 2:

    L=8821rL = \frac{88}{21} r

    Substitute r=42r = 42:

    L=8821×42L = \frac{88}{21} \times 42 L=88×4221L = 88 \times \frac{42}{21} L=88×2L = 88 \times 2 L=176L = 176

    The arc length of the sector is 176 cm\boxed{\text{176 cm}}.
