What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 2pi/9 radians and a diameter of 20.6mm? Use 3.14 for Ali and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Question
Answer:
- The area of the circle is:A=πr²
A is the area of the circle.
π=3.14
r is the radius of the circle.
- To calculate the area of the sector indicated in the problem, you must apply the following formula:
As=(θ/2π)πr²
As is the area of the sector.
θ is the central angle (θ=2π/9)
π=3.14
r is the radius.
- First, you must find the radius:
r=Diameter/2
r=20.6 mm/2
r=10.3 mm
- Now, you can substitute the values into the formula As=(θ/2π)πr². Then, you have:
As=(θ/2π)πr²
As=(2π/9/2π)(π)(10.3)²
As=(π/9π)(π)(10.3)²
As=(3.14/9x3.14)(3.14)(10.3)²
- Finally, the area of the sector is:
As= 37.01 mm²
