1. Problem Description

We are given that a sector of a circle has a radius of 21 cm and subtends an angle of 120120^{\circ} at the center. We need to find the length of the arc of this sector, using π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}.

2. Solution Steps

The formula for the length of an arc of a sector is given by:
Arclength=θ360×2πrArc\,length = \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times 2\pi r
where θ\theta is the angle subtended at the center and rr is the radius of the circle.
In this problem, θ=120\theta = 120^{\circ} and r=21r = 21 cm. We are also given that π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Arclength=120360×2×227×21Arc\,length = \frac{120}{360} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21
Arclength=13×2×227×21Arc\,length = \frac{1}{3} \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21
Arclength=13×2×22×3Arc\,length = \frac{1}{3} \times 2 \times 22 \times 3
Arclength=2×22Arc\,length = 2 \times 22
Arclength=44Arc\,length = 44 cm

3. Final Answer

44 cm
