Answer
We know that,
Arc length = × 2πr
Let L1 and L2 be the arc length of first circle and second circle and θ1 and θ2 be the central angle of the sector for the first circle and second circle respectively.
Arc length for first circle (L1) = × 2πr
Arc length for second circle (L2) = × 2π(2r)
L2 = × 4πr
According to question :
L1 = L2
× 4πr
2θ1 = 4θ2
θ1 = 2θ2
∴ Angle of the corresponding sector of the first circle is double the angle of the corresponding sector of the other circle.
Hence, the statement is True.
