What is the arc length if the angle is 2π/3 and the radius is 4 cm?

The arc length can be calculated using the formula:

Arc Length (L) = r × θ

Where:

  • r is the radius of the circle.
  • θ is the angle in radians.

In this case, the radius (r) is 4 cm and the angle (θ) is 2π/3 radians.

Now, let’s plug in the values:

L = 4 cm × (2π/3) = (8π/3) cm

So, the arc length is approximately:

L ≈ 8.38 cm (using π ≈ 3.14)

Therefore, the arc length when the angle is 2π/3 radians and the radius is 4 cm is about 8.38 cm.
