Question

A car has a windshield wiper on the driver's side that has total arm length of 10 inches. It rotates

Answer 1

Answer:

75.44 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the problem is produced and attached.

To determine the area of the cleaned sector:

Let the radius of the larger sector be R

Let the radius of the smaller sector be r

Area of the larger sector $=\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi R^2$

Area of the smaller sector $=\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi r^2$

Area of shaded part =Area of the larger sector-Area of the smaller sector

$=\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi R^2-\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi r^2\\=\frac{\theta \pi}{360}X (R^2- r^2)$

From the diagram, R=10 Inch, r=10-7=3 Inch, $\theta=95^\circ$

Therefore, Area of the sector cleaned

$=\frac{95 \pi}{360}X (10^2- 3^2)\\=75.44 Square Inches$
