What is the area of a sector with a central angle of 190° and a diameter of 5.1 cm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think the given are enough to solve the problem. . do you know the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area= r^2(theta) ; where theta is expressed in the radian form. .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(5.1/2)² *190 * pi/ 360 = 10.8 =

My PC so slow that by the time I respond to you, you already gone :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@chlorophyyll. i think it's not pi/360, but, pi/180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I check the other sources, it says 1/2 of pi/180 --> pi/260

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, okay. That clears it up, thanks. I had my answer written down, but I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in changing degrees to radian it pattern the formula. degree ( pi/180 deg). trigonometry fact.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't be confused between arc length and area sector!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give me a link of your reference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@chlorophyll, thanks. .

I check multi sources all the times, because I'm confused and very absent minded :(
