Shortcut Trick Ratio = 2πr : [2r + (θ/360) × 2πr] Substitute θ = 30°: Ratio = 2π : [2 + (30/360) × 2π] Ratio = 2π : [2 + π/6] ⇒ Ratio = 12π : (π + 12) Using π = 3.14: Ratio = (12 × 3.14) : (3.14 + 12) Ratio = 37.68 : 15.14 = 3768 :...
Shortcut Trick
Ratio = 2πr : [2r + (θ/360) × 2πr]
Substitute θ = 30°: Ratio = 2π : [2 + (30/360) × 2π]
Ratio = 2π : [2 + π/6] ⇒ Ratio = 12π : (π + 12)
Using π = 3.14: Ratio = (12 × 3.14) : (3.14 + 12)
Ratio = 37.68 : 15.14 = 3768 : 1514 = 1884 : 757
∴ The correct answer is 1884 : 757.
Alternate Method
Given:
Central angle of sector (θ) = 30°
Value of π = 3.14
Formula Used:
Circumference of Circle (C) = 2 × π × r
Perimeter of Sector (P) = (Length of Arc) + (2 × Radius)
Length of Arc = (θ/360) × 2 × π × r
Calculations:
⇒ Circumference (C) = 2πr
⇒ Arc Length = (30/360) × 2πr = (1/12) × 2πr = πr/6
⇒ Perimeter of Sector (P) = (πr/6) + 2r
⇒ P = r[(π/6) + 2] = r[(π + 12)/6]
⇒ Ratio = C : P = 2πr : r[(π + 12)/6]
⇒ Ratio = 2π : (π + 12)/6
⇒ Ratio = 12π : (π + 12)
⇒ Ratio = (12 × 3.14) : (3.14 + 12)
⇒ Ratio = 37.68 : 15.14
⇒ Ratio = 3768 : 1514 = 1884 : 757
∴ The correct answer is 1884 : 757.
Additional Information
Area of Sector
The area of a sector with central angle θ is given by Area = (θ/360) × πr².
Relation between Area and Arc Length
The area of a sector can also be expressed as Area = (1/2) × l × r, where l is the arc length and r is the radius.
Perimeter of a Semicircle
The perimeter of a semicircle is πr + 2r, which is a specific case of a sector where θ = 180°.
