TRIGONOMETRY: If the central angle theta =10rad, and the area of the sector formed is 25square units, find the AREA of the circle. TRIGONOMETRY: If the central angle theta =10rad, and the area of the sector formed is 25square units, find the AREA of the circle. @Mathematics
theta =10 theta * radius^2=area of sector 10*radius^2=25 radius^2=2.5 area of circle=pi*r^2 =3.14*2.5 7.85 thers is some mistake is central angle 10 dgrees or radian
reply kyragayle is central angle theta is in radians or degrees
radians
Your problems can be answered using proportions. For this one, imagine the angle were pi (180º). Then you would know it corresponds to 1/2 the circle.
or, for this problem, the area of the sector is a fraction of the total area. the fraction is the ratio of the angle to 2pi (using rads) so \[ \frac{10}{2\pi}A= 25 \]
make sense?
whats your final answer?
What's yours?
my answer is thousand so i know im wrong
I'll answer, if you try this problem first: theta= pi rads |dw:1321626049169:dw| area of the sector is 25. What is the area of the circle
the area of a circle is \[A= 1/2 r^2\theta\] ryt?
the equation i mean
almost. But use common sense on this one.
im so confused
If my problem is a pizza, and you ate the sector I labelled 25, how much of the pizza did you eat?
25
and how much is left over?
25?
and how big was the pizza?
if im going to add it up, the part of the pizza i ate and the left over its 50 i think
Yes. Now try this: |dw:1321626904027:dw| the sector is 25 (this is a bigger pizza) how big is the total pizza?
