1 answer:
The area of the sector in radians is calculated as: B. 8π units squared.
<h3>What is the Area of a Shaded Sector?</h3>The area of a sector where the central angle of the sector that is shaded in a circle is given in radians is calculated using the formula that is expressed as:
Area of sector = (1/2) × r²θ; where we have:
θ = the angle subtended at the center/central angle measure in radians
r = the radius of the circle
Given the following:
The shaded area is half of the circle. Its measure would be 180 degrees which when expressed in radians would be π.
Central angle measure in radians (θ) = π
Radius (r) = 4 units
Plug in the values into the area of sector formula
Area of sector = (1/2) × r²θ = (1/2) × (4²)(π)
Area of sector = (1/2) × (16)(π)
Area of sector = (1 × 16 × π)(2)
Area of sector = (16π)(2)
Area of sector = 8π units squared
In conclusion, the area of the shaded sector in the image given below is calculated as: B. 8π units squared.
