Correct Answer: $\frac{16}{3} \pi$ cm
Solution :
Given:
The radius of the circle is 12 cm.
The area of the sector of a circle is $32\pi$ cm
2
.
Area of the sector = $\pi r^2× \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}$
⇒ $32\pi=\pi ×12^2×\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}$
⇒ $\frac{\theta}{360}=\frac{32}{144}$
⇒ $\frac{\theta}{360}=\frac{2}{9}$
Length of the arc = $2\pi r×\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}$
= $2\pi×12×\frac{2}{9}=\frac{16}{3} \pi$ cm
So, the length of the arc is $\frac{16}{3} \pi$ cm.
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{16}{3} \pi$ cm.
