- The central angle is
![18^\circ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=18%5E%5Ccirc)
- The fraction of a circle taken up by one sector is
![\frac{1}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B20%7D)

The area of a circle is given by the formula
![A=\pi r^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cpi%20r%5E2)
A sector of a circle is a fraction of a circle. The fraction is given by
. Where
is the angle subtended by the sector at the center of the circle.
The formula for computing the area of a sector, given the angle at the center is
![A_s=\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times \pi r^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_s%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Ctheta%7D%7B360%5E%5Ccirc%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Cpi%20r%5E2)
<h3>Given information</h3>
We given a circle (the dartboard) with diameter of
, divided into 20 equal(or, congruent) sectors
<h3>Part I: Finding the central angle</h3>
To find the central angle, divide
by the number of sectors. Let
denote the central angle, then
![\alpha=\dfrac{360^\circ}{20}\\\\\alpha=18^\circ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Calpha%3D%5Cdfrac%7B360%5E%5Ccirc%7D%7B20%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Calpha%3D18%5E%5Ccirc)
<h3>Part II: Find the fraction of the circle that one sector takes</h3>
The fraction of the circle that one sector takes up is found by dividing the angle a sector takes up by
. The angle has already been computed in Part I (the central angle,
). The fraction is
![f=\dfrac{\alpha}{360^\circ}\\\\f=\dfrac{18^\circ}{360^\circ}=\dfrac{1}{20}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%3D%5Cdfrac%7B%5Calpha%7D%7B360%5E%5Ccirc%7D%5C%5C%5C%5Cf%3D%5Cdfrac%7B18%5E%5Ccirc%7D%7B360%5E%5Ccirc%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B20%7D)
<h3>Part III: Find the area of one sector to the nearest tenth</h3>
The area of one sector can be gotten by multiplying the fraction gotten from Part II, with the area formula. That is
![A_s=f\times \pi r^2\\=\dfrac{1}{20}\times3.14\times\left(\dfrac{20}{2}\right)^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{20}\times3.14\times10^2=15.7in^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_s%3Df%5Ctimes%20%5Cpi%20r%5E2%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B20%7D%5Ctimes3.14%5Ctimes%5Cleft%28%5Cdfrac%7B20%7D%7B2%7D%5Cright%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B20%7D%5Ctimes3.14%5Ctimes10%5E2%3D15.7in%5E2)
