B is the answer how you do good
I’m here to help.
For this question here you need to use the sine formula for the area of a triangle and figure out the area of the sector
I’ll take you through it step-by-step
Area of the arc:
We only have 68.9 degrees out of 360 and we need to use the formula for the area of a circle.
Formula of a circle = pi x radius squared
68.9/360 x pi x 86.1184= 51.78 (2dp)
Area of triangle:
As you can see we have no height so we must use the sine formula for the area of a triangle.
Formula= 1/2abSinC
You should end up with
0.5 x 9.28x 9.28 x Sin(68.9)= 40.17 (2dp)
Now since you want the area of the segment shaded, just find the difference between these two values.
51.78-40.17 = 11.61
Answer= 11.6cm squared
Hope this helped!
Let the height of the triangle be and the base be .
Given that and the area of the triangle is . Or
