Question

What is the area of a sector with radius equal to 8 and measure of arc equal to 300°?

Answer 1

r=8
area=64pi
measure of arc equal to 300°
x:64pi=300:360
x=(64pi*300)/360=(160 pi)/3=167.55

Answer 2

use the formula A = 1.2 * r^2 * theta where theta is in radians
= 1/2 * 64 * 300pi/180 = 167.55
