Q.If the radius of a circle is 7 cm, then find the radian measure of the central angle subtended by an arc of length 5.5 cm.

Here, radius \((r) = 7\) cm and arc length \((s) = 5.5\) cm Let the radian measure of the central angle subtended by the 5.5 cm arc be \(\theta\) We know, \(s = r\theta\) \(\therefore 5.5 = 7 \times \theta\) Or, \(\theta = \cfrac{5.5}{7} = \cfrac{55}{70} = \cfrac{11}{14}\) \(\therefore\) The radian measure of the required angle is \(\cfrac{11}{14}\) radians \(= \cfrac{22}{7} \times \cfrac{1}{4}\) radians \(= \cfrac{\pi^{c}}{4}\) radians
