AD is the diameter hence OD will be radius.

The hexagon is regular so all sides will be equal.

Triangle OBC will form an equilateral triangle.

OB = OC = BC = radius

Qt A

Radius OD = BC = EF = side of hexagon

Qt B

The length of arc \(\widehat{FE}\)

This can be calculated as = \(\frac{angle EOF}{360} * 2 * pi * radius\)
= \(\frac{60}{360} * 2 * pi * EF\)
= \(\frac{pi}{3} * EF\)
= 1.046 * EF

So Qt B > Qt A

Answer B

We are told that hexagonal is inscribed inside the circle, the basic property of hexagonal states its consists 6 equilateral triangle.


Hence all side of the given triangle are equal.

But,
radius OD is straight line segment and FE is curve path,


Hence, FE is greater.

pretend that the diameter of the circle = 10 thus the radius (QA) equals 5
The length of an arc = X/360 * 2*Pi*R (where x is the measure of the angle in question)
if the shape is a regular hexagon then each the internal angles are 720 degree ((6-2) * 180)
720 / 6 = 120
120 / 360 * 2 * pi * 5 (the radius we established earlier) = 3.3333333 * pi > 5
