Question

If the perimeter of a sector is 4 times its radius, then the radian measure of the central angle of the sector is (A) 2. (B) 4.(C)2/π.(D)4/π.(E) impossible to determine without knowing the radius.

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 3

Perimeter = r+r+sr+ r+ s

Perimeter = 2r+rθ2r + r\theta

Recall that a sector is in the shape of a pie piece, so the perimeter is equal to the straight edge length of the radius rr, plus the straight edge length of the radius rr, plus the curved length of the arc ss. We also know that the arc length is related to the radius rr and angle θ\theta by the following formula: s=rθs = r\theta.
