To find the area of a sector of a circle use the next formula:
As the given circle has a outside angle 90º (it is not part of the sector of the circle) subtract the 90º from 360º (total angle of a circle) to find the angle of the sector:
Find the area of the sector with angle 270º:
Answer:
about 2949 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
__
<h3>setup</h3>Filling in the known values, we have ...
tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)
<h3>solution</h3>Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...
distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft
distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft
The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.
