Ex 3.1, 6 If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 60° and 75° at the centre, find the ratio of their radii. We know that š = r Īø Let the radius of the two circles be r1 and r2 Length of arc of 1st Circle š = r1 Īø = r1 Ć 60° Converting into radians = r1 Ć 60° Ć š/(180°) = r1 Ć š /š Length of arc of 2nd circle š = r2 Īø = r2 Ć 75° Converting into radians = r2 Ć 75° Ć š/(180°) = r2 Ć šš /šš Given that Length of 1st arc = length of 2nd arc r1 Ć š /š = r2 Ć šš /šš š1/š2 = 5š/12 Ć 3/š šš/šš = š/š Hence, r1 : r2 = 22 : 13 So, Ratio of Radius = 5 : 4
