1.) A 20° sector in a circle has an area of 21.5π yd². What is the area of the circle? Use 3.14 for pi. 2.)What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 3π/5 radians and a diameter of 21.2 cm? Use 3.14 for π and round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.
Question
Answer:
Part 1) A 20° sector in a circle has an area of 21.5π yd².
What is the area of the circle? we know thatthe area of a circle represent a sector of [tex]360[/tex] degreesso by proportion[tex]\frac{21.5\pi }{20} =\frac{x}{360} \\ \\ x*20=360*21.5\pi \\ \\x=(360*21.5*3.14)/20\\ \\x= 1,215.18\ yd^{2}[/tex] thereforethe answer part 1) isThe area of the circle is [tex]1,215.18\ yd^{2}[/tex]Part 2) What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 3π/5 radians and a diameter of 21.2 cm?we know thatthe area of the circle is equal to[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]wherer is the radius of the circlein this problem we have[tex]Diameter=21.2\ cm\\ r=Diameter/2\\r=21.2/2\\r= 10.6\ cm[/tex]Find the area of the circle[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex][tex]A=\pi*10.6^{2}[/tex][tex]A=352.8104\ cm^{2}[/tex]Find the area of the sectorwe know that the area of the circle represent a sector of [tex]2\pi[/tex] radiansby proportion[tex]\frac{352.8104}{2\pi }=\frac{x}{(3\pi/5)} \\\\x*2\pi=(3\pi*352.8104)/5\\ \\x= 105.84\ cm^{2}[/tex] thereforethe answer part 2) isthe area of the sector is [tex]105.84\ cm^{2}[/tex]
