How many Radians?

Geometry Level 2

Figure not drawn to scale! Figure not drawn to scale! If the perimeter of the sector shown in the figure is 18, with radius 4. What is the angle of the sector in radians ?


The answer is 2.5.

The perimeter of sector is = Radius + Radius + Arc Length = \color{#EC7300}{\text{Radius + Radius + Arc Length}} . Since the radius is 4 4 and the perimeter is 18 18 , the arc length is 10 10 . Radian = Length of arc Radius Radian = 10 4 Radian = 2.5 \\ \begin{aligned} \text{Radian} &= \dfrac{\text{Length of arc}} {\text{Radius}} \\ \\ \text{Radian} &= \color{#EC7300}{\dfrac{10}{4}} \\ \\ \text{Radian} &= \boxed{2.5} \end{aligned}

Let the angle of the sector be θ \theta . Then the perimeter is given by:

p = θ r + 2 r 18 = 4 θ + 2 ( 4 ) θ = 10 4 = 2.5 \begin{aligned} p & = \theta r + 2r \\ 18 & = 4\theta + 2(4) \\ \implies \theta & = \frac {10}4 = \boxed{2.5} \end{aligned}
