Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The lenght of Arc AB = \(\frac{Q}{360}\) 2\(\pi\)r
= \(\frac{48}{360}\) x 2\(\frac{22}{7}\) x 10.5 = \(\frac{48}{360}\) x 2\(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{21}{2}\)
= \(\frac{4 \times 22 \times 3}{30} \times \frac{88}{10}\) = 8.8cm
Perimeter = 8.8 + 2r = 8.8 + 2r
= 8.8 + 2(10.5)
= 8.8 + 21
= 29.8cm
The lenght of Arc AB = \(\frac{Q}{360}\) 2\(\pi\)r
= \(\frac{48}{360}\) x 2\(\frac{22}{7}\) x 10.5 = \(\frac{48}{360}\) x 2\(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{21}{2}\)
= \(\frac{4 \times 22 \times 3}{30} \times \frac{88}{10}\) = 8.8cm
Perimeter = 8.8 + 2r = 8.8 + 2r
= 8.8 + 2(10.5)
= 8.8 + 21
= 29.8cm
