STEP 1

Assumptions1. The sector of the circle has an area of 81π81 \pi. . We need to find the length of arc UV.

STEP 2

The area of a sector of a circle is given by the formulaArea=r2×θ2Area = \frac{r^2 \times \theta}{2}where rr is the radius of the circle and θ\theta is the angle of the sector in radians.

STEP 3

We know that the area of the sector is 81π81 \pi. We can equate this to the formula for the area of a sector and solve for rr.
81π=r2×θ281 \pi = \frac{r^2 \times \theta}{2}

STEP 4

We can simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by2.
162π=r2×θ162 \pi = r^2 \times \theta

STEP 5

The angle θ\theta for a full circle in radians is 2π2\pi. Since the sector is a quarter of a circle, θ\theta is 2π4=π2\frac{2\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2}.

STEP 6

Substitute θ\theta into the equation and solve for rr.
162π=r2×π2162 \pi = r^2 \times \frac{\pi}{2}

STEP 7

implify the equation by multiplying both sides by 2π\frac{2}{\pi}.
324=r2324 = r^2

STEP 8

Take the square root of both sides to solve for rr.
r=324=18r = \sqrt{324} =18

STEP 9

The length of an arc is given by the formulaArclength=r×θArc\, length = r \times \theta

STEP 10

Substitute the values of rr and θ\theta into the formula to find the length of arc UV.
Arclength=18×π2Arc\, length =18 \times \frac{\pi}{2}

STEP 11

Calculate the length of arc UV.
Arclength=18×π=9πArc\, length =18 \times \frac{\pi}{} =9 \piThe length of arc UV is 9π9 \pi.
