QUESTION #10932
Question 1
A right circular cone has a base radius of 7 cm and slant height of 25 cm. If it is unrolled to form a flat sector, what is the angle of the sector?
Correct Answer Explanation
When a cone is unrolled, it forms a sector with:
- Radius of sector = slant height = 25 cm
- Arc length of sector = circumference of base = \(2\pi r = 2\pi \times 7 = 14\pi\ \text{cm}\
Angle of sector: \(\theta = \dfrac{\text{arc length}}{\text{radius}} = \dfrac{14\pi}{25}\ \text{radians}\
In degrees: \(\theta = \dfrac{14\pi}{25} \times \dfrac{180}{\pi} = \dfrac{14 \times 180}{25} = \dfrac{2520}{25} = 100.8°\
Wait — that gives 100.8°. The answer is option B (100.8°). Correcting: answer index should be 1.
