An object moved in a circular path of radius 21m such that it made an angle of 30°. What is the distance (in meter) covered by the object?
Explanation
To find the distance covered by an object moving in a circular path, you need to calculate the arc length. The formula for the arc length of a circle is:
where:
- is the radius of the circle
- is the angle in radians
First, convert the angle from degrees to radians:
Now, use the formula to find the arc length:
Rounded to the nearest meter, the distance covered is approximately 11 meters.
So, the correct answer is:
A. 11m
