The area of the plastic used to form the lampshade is 2021.25 square centimeters

How to determine the area of the plastic used to form the lampshade?

The given parameters in the question are:

Outer radius, R = 28 cm

Inner radius, r = 7 cm

Angle, ∅ = 315

The area of the plastic used to form the lampshade is calculated using the following area  of sector formula

A = ∅/360 * π(R² - r²)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

A = 315/360 * 22/7 * (28² - 7²)

Evaluate the exponents

A = 315/360 * 22/7 * (784 - 49)

Evaluate the difference

A = 315/360 * 22/7 * 735

Evaluate the product

A = 2021.25

Hence, the area of the plastic used to form the lampshade is 2021.25 square centimeters
