Question

What is the diameter of circle T?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Diameter = 16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\theta = 72$

$Sector = \frac{64}{5}\pi$

Required

Calculate the diameter

The area of a sector is:

$Area = \frac{\theta}{360} * \pi r^2$

Substitute values for Area and $\theta$

$\frac{64}{5}\pi = \frac{72}{360} * \pi r^2$

Divide both sides by $\pi$

$\frac{64}{5} = \frac{72}{360} * r^2$

Make $r^2$ the subject

$\frac{64*360}{5*72} = r^2$

$\frac{64*360}{360} = r^2$

$64 = r^2$

Take positive square roots of both sides

$\sqrt{64} = r$

$8 = r$

$r = 8$

The diameter is then calculated as:

$Diameter = 2r$

$Diameter = 2*8$

$Diameter = 16$
