Multiple choice

If the length of an arc of a circle of radius r is equal to that of an arc of a circle of radius 2 r, then the angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is double the angle of the corresponding sector of the other circle. Is this statement true or false? Why?

  1. $ false,\quad since\quad the\quad radius\quad of\quad { C }_{ 1 }\neq the\quad radius\quad of{ \quad C }_{ 2 }.\quad \\ $
  2. $ True,\quad since\quad the\quad radius\quad of\quad { C }_{ 1 }=2\times (the\quad radius\quad of{ \quad C }_{ 2 }).\quad \quad \\ $
  3. $ False,\quad \quad since\quad \theta _{ 1 }\neq \theta _{ 2 }.\\ $
  4. $ True,\quad since\quad \theta _{ 1 }=\theta _{ 2 }.\\ $

The formula relating arc length, radius, and sector angle is L = r * theta. We are given that the arc lengths are equal, so r * theta_1 = 2r * theta_2. Dividing both sides by r shows that theta_1 = 2 * theta_2. Therefore, the statement is true since the radius of the first circle is twice the radius of the second circle.
