Exercise 143 Page 698

A sector is part of a circle with the same radius as the sector.

D

Practice makes perfect

The sector has a radius of 6 feet, which means the second straight segment — which also is the radius of the sector — also has this length.

To find the length of the curved part we should calculate the circumference of a circle with a radius of 6 feet and then multiply this with the ratio that the sector makes up of 360^(∘). 2(6)π(30^(∘)/360^(∘))= π By adding the length of the radii with the curved part of the sector, we can find the total perimeter. 6+6+π=(12+π) ft. This corresponds to option D.
