A sector of a circle of radius 14cm containing an angle 60o is folded to form a cone. Calculate the radius of the base of the cone

A
5\(\frac{1}{2}cm\)
B
4\(\frac{2}{3}cm\)
C
3\(\frac{1}{2}cm\)
D
2\(\frac{1}{3}cm\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: D

Length of arc = circumference of the base of the

cone (\frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi R = 2 \pi r)

(\frac{\theta R}{360}) = r

r = (\frac{60 \times 14}{360})

= (\frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3})cm
