The big arc is 2.09 centimeters longer than the small arc.
How much longer is the big arc than the small arc?
For a circle of radius R, if we define an arc with an angle θ, the length of that arc will be:
L = (θ/360°)*2πR
Where π = 3.14
in this case, for both arcs, we have θ = 120°.
For the smaller arc, the radius is R = 5cm, so we get:
L = (120°/360°)*2*3.14*5cm = 10.47 cm
For the larger arc, the radius is R = 5cm, so we get:
L' = (120°/360°)*2*3.14*6cm = 12.56 cm
Then we can see that:
L' - L = 12.56 cm - 10.47 cm = 2.09 cm
So the largest arc is 2.09 centimeters longer than the smaller arc.
