Answer 1

Answer:

(64/5)π

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the circle: 16π

central angle: (8/5)π

The Area of the circle corresponds to a central angle equal to 2π (the complete circle). Then the following proportion must be satisfied:

16π / x = 2π / (8/5)π

x = [16π * (8/5)π] / 2π

x = (64/5)π
