Question

A sector with a radius of 15cm has a central angle measure of 8pi/5 (in radians)

Answer 1

Answer:

565.49 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is given by:

Area = pi * r^2

And the whole area represents a central angle of 2pi.

Then, to find the area of this sector, we just need to use a rule of three:

area of pi * r^2 -> central angle of 2pi

area of x -> central angle of 8pi/5

x * 2pi = pi * r^2 * 8pi/5

2x = r^2 * 8pi/5

x = r^2 * 4pi/5 = 15^2 * 4pi/5 = 565.49 cm2
