Let the angle of the smallest sector be \(a\) and the common difference of the arithmetic progression be \(d\). The angles of the sectors are \(a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, a+4d, a+5d\).
Given that the largest angle is 4 times the smallest angle, we have:
\(a + 5d = 4a\)
\(5d = 3a\)
The sum of the angles in the circle is \(360^{\circ}\), so:
\(6a + 15d = 360\)
Substitute \(d = \frac{3a}{5}\) into the equation:
\(6a + 15\left(\frac{3a}{5}\right) = 360\)
\(6a + 9a = 360\)
\(15a = 360\)
\(a = 24^{\circ}\)
The arc length of the smallest sector is:
\(\frac{24}{360} \times 2\pi \times 5 = \frac{2\pi}{15} \times 5 = \frac{2\pi}{3}\)
The perimeter of the smallest sector is the sum of the arc length and the two radii:
\(\frac{2\pi}{3} + 2 \times 5 = \frac{2\pi}{3} + 10\)
Approximating \(\pi \approx 3.1416\), the perimeter is:
\(\frac{2 \times 3.1416}{3} + 10 \approx 12.1 \text{ cm}\)
