**please help!!** medals rewarded! What is the area of the sector in the circle shown below?
\(\textit{sector of a circle}=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}\qquad \begin{cases} r\to radius\\ \theta\to \textit{angle, in degrees} \end{cases}\)
can you help me break this down? @jdoe0001
hmmm well.. check what your "radius" is and check your angle then just plug and chug
I got 3749.38?
@jdoe0001
hmmm need to check your PEMDAS notice, \(\textit{sector of a circle}=\cfrac{\theta \pi r^2}{360}\qquad \begin{cases} r\to radius\to &10\\ \theta\to \textit{angle, in degrees}\to &37 \end{cases} \\ \quad \\ \cfrac{37\cdot \pi \cdot 10^2}{360}\implies ?\)
32.27?
yes
\(32.27 in^2\) that is
thanks! could you help me with another? @jdoe0001 An angle measure of 82 degrees is equivalent to ____ radians. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth when necessary.
ok.. well.. how many say.... degrees in \(\pi\) radians?
3.14?
I have no idea, Im really bad at math
\(\large \pi = 3.14^o?\)
yes?
@jdoe0001
|dw:1440719540872:dw|
would it be 82/3.14? im so confused
hmmm nope... well. check your Unit Circle, see how many degrees are in a \(\large \pi\) firstly
180?
http://www.shelovesmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Unit-Circle1.png <--- notice this Unit Circle so... hmm yes 180
ok
\(\begin{array}{ccllll} degrees&radians \\\hline\\ 180&\pi \\ 82&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{180}{82}=\cfrac{\pi }{x}\implies x=\cfrac{82\cdot \pi }{180}\)
anyhow, "x" is how many degrees are in 82 :)
or rather, how many radians are in 82 degrees
1.43116999 radians?
is that the answer?
@jdoe0001
yeap
if I recall correctly, 1 radian is about 51 degrees so 82 is about 1.4, sure
thanks!
