Answer:
The area of the sector is
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a complete circle (16π units^2) subtends a central angle of 2π radians
so
using proportion
Find out the area of a sector , if the central angle is equal to 8π/5 radians
========================================================
Explanation:
We're given the height in relation to base BC, so we need to find the length of this base. This is the same as finding the distance from B to C.
Turn to the distance formula
Coincidentally, the base and height are the same. This won't always be the case.
Now we can find the area of the triangle
The area of the triangle is 1 square unit.
See diagram below.
