Find the area of a sector formed by central angle (theta)=105deg in a circle of radius r=5m.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

Area =105/360 x pi x 5^2

I may have typed it in wrong, because I got the wrong answer for it. I got 2.29

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the area of the circle is approx 78 metres squared.... then find the fraction of it the fraction is 105/360, should be around 25 m^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of the sector should be around 25 m^2?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats my best guess without a calculator

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

between 21 and 25

Well, that narrows it down nicely. Lol. If I use that formula, should it give me a number between that?

Ok... This is so freaking weird. I just moved the decimal place over and got 22.91. That answer is correct... Don't have a clue where it came from, but gosh, I'm glad it's right. XD
