Given:

The area of the sector of a circle of radius 28 cm is 112 cm2.

Calculation:

Area of sector = πr²θ/360°

112 = π(28)²θ/360°

θ = 360/22

Length of the arc = θ/360°(2πr)

⇒ 360/360 × 22/22 × 28/7 × 2

⇒  8 cm

Therefore, the length of the arc is 8 cm.

Alternate Method Area of sector = 1/2 × r × l

r = radius of the circle

l = length of arc

As per question,

⇒ 112 = 1/2 × 28 × l

⇒ l = 8 cm

Therefore, the length of the arc is 8 cm.
