If the area of the circle below is 10in, what is the area of the shaded sector? (picture) http://i.imgur.com/fFQTrQ2.png please give me the best answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.5pi

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

that is 1/4 of 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since the degree of the arc is 90 degrees, and a circle is always 360 degrees, you can determine that the area is 1/4 of 10, which is 2.5in^2.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

not 2.5pi it is 2.5in2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since its 90 degrees, its a fourth of a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 10/4 is 2.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i messed up for the pi thing, there's no pi since the area is 10, not 10pi
