A circle has a chord that goes from ( 5 pi)/4 5π4 to (4 pi) / 3 4π3 radians on the circle. If the area of the circle is 42 pi 42π, what is the length of the chord?

=1.7=1.7

Explanation:

Area of the circle=pir^2=42pi=πr2=42π
or
r^2=42r2=42
or
r=sqrt42r=42
or
r=6.48r=6.48
Circumference=2pir=2pi(6.48)=40.722πr=2π(6.48)=40.72
Chord goes from 5pi/45π4 to 4pi/34π3 that is moves(4/3-5/4)pi=pi/12(4354)π=π12
Therefore we can write
2pi2π corresponds to 40.7240.72
pi/12π12corresponds to 40.72/(2pi)(pi/12)40.722π(π12)
=1.7=1.7
