Find the measure of AC in degrees, given that the shaded region has an area of 26.18 square centimeters. if necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.
I know to get the area of sector = fraction of circle covered by sector * area of circle
Would the fraction of the circle covered by sector be 26.18 cm2 or 5 cm ?
Pi5sqaured = 78.53
Now i multiply by 26.13 cm2
?
2051.98/3
684 cm2
units squared *
as u mentioned above \[\text{fraction of circle covered by sector}=\frac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{total area of circle}}\]
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?
I just have to divide 26.18 by 360 ?
I got 0.07
\[\frac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{total area of circle}}=\frac{AC}{360}\]\[\frac{26.8}{\pi*5^2}=\frac{AC}{360}\]\[AC=360\frac{26.8}{78.53}=122.85 \ \ \text{degrees}\]
Okay but since i have to round it it's 122.86 :D
