@yashikaagggarwal : can you please explain

27 = Π/360*2*22/7*8... what does the *2 signify ? where did you get the *2 from?

In (Π/360)*2*22/7*8
Π is the angle, AQC
2*22/7*8 = circumference formula.
Which is in multiplication, to get the value of arc we multiply theta/360 to circumference to draw out value of the arc.

Hope that helps

The radius of Circle Q is 8. If the length of arc ABC is greater than 26, which of the following could be the value of the sums of angles AQB and BQC ?

I. 180°
II. 240°
III. 270°

A. I only
B. II only
C. I and II only
D. II and III only
E. I, II, and III

Attachment:

ANgle AQB + Angle BQC = Angle AQC

Angle AQC is drawn by arc ABC at the center

Length of Arc \(= (\frac{ø}{360})*2πr\)

ie. Length of Arc ABC \(= (\frac{ø}{360})*2π*8\) > 26 (Given)

i.e. \(= (\frac{ø}{360})*2π*8 > 26\)

i.e. Angle (ø) > 186º



I. 180°
II. 240°
III. 270°


Answer: Option D

Circumference of the circle (radius =8) =\( 2 \pi r = 2*3.14*8 \approx48\)
So semi-circumference (or arc subtended by the diameter) \(\approx24\) <26
Angle at the centre of the sem-circumference = \(180^{\circ}\)
So the angle must be greater than \(180^{\circ}\)
