Find the area of the sector below. Round your answer to two decimal places Please help <33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (raden):

can you find the central angle, first ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not exactly sure how to find it :/

OpenStudy (raden):

see the diagram known that the reflex angle is 300, so just subtracts 300 from 360 to get the central angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 60 would be the central angle

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, that's right then use this formula : sector = central angle/360 * circle area

OpenStudy (raden):

so, sector = 60/360 * pi * r^2 with r = radius (its given r = 13)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got .1666666 repeating.. how can I find the circle of the area when i don't know the bottom value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of the circle**

OpenStudy (raden):

sector = 60/360 * pi * r^2 = 1/6 * (3.14) * (13) * 13 = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

88.44

OpenStudy (raden):

correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means that the answer for the bottom question mark would be 88.44?

OpenStudy (raden):

the shaded area is sector area. we done solve it but looks the diagram asked us about length of arc BC, too right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe we have to

OpenStudy (raden):

therefor, use this formula arc BC = central angle/360 * circumference of cirlce so, arc BC = 60/360 * 2 pi r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.04666?

OpenStudy (raden):

arc BC = 60/360 * 2 pi r arc BC = 1/6 * 2 * (3.14) * 13 = ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13.606

OpenStudy (raden):

you got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) so the area would be 13.606

OpenStudy (raden):

there are 2 questions here, find the sector area and length arc. they are 88.44 and 13.606 respectively

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's makes a lot of sense.. thank you so much for your time you have been very helpful! :D
