12. $\begin{array}{l}\text{radius}\ =r=3\ \ \text{cm}\\\\\text{perimeter}\ =s+2r=\ 16\ \text{cm}\ \\\\\therefore \ \ s=16-6=10\ \text{cm}\\\\\text{Since the wire is bent into a sector of circle,}\\\\\text{perimeter}=L\ \text{cm}\ \\\\\therefore \ \ s+2r=L\\\\\text{radius}=r\ \text{cm}\\\\\text{central angle}=\theta =\left( {\displaystyle\frac{{32}}{r}-2} \right)\ \text{radians}\ \\\\\text{Since }\theta =\displaystyle\frac{s}{r},\ s=r\theta \\\\\therefore L=s+2r\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ =r\theta +2r\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ =r\left( {\theta +2} \right)\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ =r\left( {\displaystyle\frac{{32}}{r}-2+2} \right)\\\\\ \ \ \ \ \ =32\ \text{cm}\\\\A\ \ \ =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}{{r}^{2}}\theta \\\\\ \ \ =\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\times {{r}^{2}}\times \ \left( {\displaystyle\frac{{32}}{r}-2} \right)\ \ \ \ \ \\\\\therefore A=16r-{{r}^{2}}\end{array}$

13. A race is run at a uniform speed on a circular course. In each minute, a runner traverses an arc of a circle which subtends $2 \displaystyle\frac{6}{7}$ radians at the centre of the course. If each lap is $792$ yards, how long does the runner take to run a mile?
