1.
Calculate the measure of the arc subtended by a central angle of 60° in a circle with radius 10 cm.
[2 marks]
2.
In a circle of radius 15 cm, an arc measures 90°. Find the length of this arc.
[3 marks]
3.
A sector of a circle has a radius of 8 cm and an arc length of 12.56 cm. What is the measure of the central angle in degrees?
[3 marks]
4.
Construct a diagram showing a circle with a radius of 12 cm and mark an arc that measures 60°. Use the grid to assist with drawing.
[4 marks]
5.
