Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Length of an arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r\)
18.33 = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14\)
\(\theta = \frac{18.33 \times 360 \times 17}{2 \times 22 \times 14}\)
= 75o (approx.)
Length of an arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r\)
18.33 = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14\)
\(\theta = \frac{18.33 \times 360 \times 17}{2 \times 22 \times 14}\)
= 75o (approx.)
