      Question

      The area of a circle is 1.54 cm2. Find the

      perimeter of the minor sector that is subtended by an angle of 90o. (take π = 22/7)
      A 2.5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1.5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2.8 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Area of circle = π X radius2

      So, 1.54 = (22/7) X radius2

      So, 0.49 = radius2

      So, radius = 0.7 cm (Since radius cannot be negative, we may discard the negative value of root)

      Perimeter of sector = 2 X radius of the circle + length of the arc

      Length of minor arc = (θ/360o) X 2 X π X radius

      So, length of the minor arc of the given circle = (90o/360o) X 2 X (22/7) X 0.7 = 1.1 cm

      So, perimeter of the sector = 1.1 + (2 X 0.7) = 2.5 cm
