In the figure above, AC is the diameter of a circle with center O. If the area of the circle is 81π, what is the length of minor arc BC?

A. 3.5π
B. 6π
C. 7π
D. 8.5π
E. 9π

Since the area is 81π, the radius is 9, and the circumference is 18π.

Since a straight line has 180 degrees, we see that angle BOC measures 70 degrees. We calculate that angle BOC is 70/360 of the entire circle, so the length of minor arc BC is:

70/360 x 18π = 7/36 x 18π = 3.5π

Answer: A
