I know to get the area of sector = fraction of circle covered by sector * area of circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the fraction of the circle covered by sector be 26.18 cm2 or 5 cm ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi5sqaured = 78.53

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now i multiply by 26.13 cm2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

units squared *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as u mentioned above \[\text{fraction of circle covered by sector}=\frac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{total area of circle}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the other hand\[\text{fraction of circle covered by sector}=\frac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{total area of circle}}=\frac{\text{related arc of sector}}{\text{total arc of circle}}\]\[\frac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{total area of circle}}=\frac{\text{related arc of sector}}{\text{total arc of circle}}=\frac{AC}{360}\]makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just have to divide 26.18 by 360 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 0.07

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{total area of circle}}=\frac{AC}{360}\]\[\frac{26.8}{\pi*5^2}=\frac{AC}{360}\]\[AC=360\frac{26.8}{78.53}=122.85 \ \ \text{degrees}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay but since i have to round it it's 122.86 :D
