Question
A circular wire of radius 3 cm is cut and bent so as to lie along the circumference of a hoop whose radius is 48 cm. Find the angle in degrees which is subtended at the centre of hoop.
Solution
Given that circular wire is of radius 3 cm
So when it is cut then its length = 2π × 3 = 6π cm.
Again, it is being placed along a circular hoop of radius 48 cm.
Here, s = 6π cm is the length of arc and r = 48 cm is the radius of the circle.
Therefore, the angle θ, in radian, subtended by the arc at the centre of the circle is given by
θ = `"Arc"/"Radius"`
= `(6pi)/48`
= `pi/8`
= 22.5°.

Find the magnitude, in radians and degrees, of the interior angle of a regular duodecagon.
Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are
