Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
L = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
16\(\pi\) = \(\frac{80}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
\(\frac{16\pi \times 360}{80 \times 2\pi}\) = r
r = 36cm
L = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
16\(\pi\) = \(\frac{80}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r
\(\frac{16\pi \times 360}{80 \times 2\pi}\) = r
r = 36cm
