@hartnn @ganeshie8 @robtobey @SolomonZelman @whpalmer4  sorry to bother but does anyone know how to do this question?

anonymous · Answer

so arc length = 7.85 ft

area = 98.17 ft^2
 I think

How did you get that without knowing the radius? thanks for answering

20 cars DIVIDE the circle into 20 sections. How many degrees in a circle?

Use that to find the central angle.

abbles · Answer

So the central angle is 18 degrees, correct? How would I go about finding the arc length and area of the sector?

agent0smith · Answer

Use the arc length and the sector area formulas.
