Q.If an arc of a circle measuring 220 cm in length subtends a central angle of 60°, find the radius of the circle.

\(60^\circ = 60 \times \cfrac{\pi}{180}\) radians = \(\cfrac{\pi}{3}\) radians Let the radius of the circle be \(r\) cm \(\therefore \cfrac{220}{r} = \cfrac{\pi}{3}\) i.e., \(\pi r = 660\) i.e., \(\cfrac{22}{7} \times r = 660\) i.e., \(r = 660 \times \cfrac{7}{22} = 210\) \(\therefore\) The radius of the circle is 210 cm.
