Question

The diagram shows a sector of a circle radius 10 cm. the angle is 135 degrees

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter is 43.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the perimeter of the sector.

Firstly, we define what a sector is. A sector is part of a circle which is is blinded by two radii and an arc. Hence we say a sector contains two radii.

Thus, to calculate the perimeter of the sector, we need the length of the arc added to 2 * length of the radius

Let’s calculate the length of the arc.

Mathematically, this is theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

where theta is the angle subtended at the middle of the circle which is 135 according to the question, and our radius is 10cm

Thus, we have

135/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 10 = 23.57 cm

Adding two radii to this, we have;

23.57 + 2(10)

= 23.57 + 20 = 43.57 = 43.6 cm to 1 decimal place
