In a circle of radius r, an arc of length l subtends a central angle θ (in radians) such that:
Aθ = lr
Bl = θ/r
Cl = rθ
Dθ = r + l
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. l = rθ
By definition of radian, an arc of length r subtends an angle of 1 radian. Hence an arc of length l subtends angle l/r radians → θ = l/r, i.e. l = rθ.
