Question : The area of a sector of a circle of radius 28 cm is 112 cm2. Find the length of the corresponding arc of the sector.
Option 1: 4 cm
Option 2: 8 cm
Option 3: 6 cm
Option 4: 5 cm
Correct Answer: 8 cm
Solution : Given: The area of a sector of a circle of radius 28 cm is 112 cm2. The area of a sector of a circle of radius $r=\pi\times r^2 \times \frac{\theta}{360^\circ}$ ⇒ $\frac{22}{7} \times 28^2 \times \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} = 112$ ⇒ $\theta = \frac{360^\circ}{22}$
