kamFind the area of the shaded sector.Round to the nearest tenth.167°17.8 ydArea = [ ? ]yd?Enter

Sagot :

We know the area of a cirlce is

[tex]A=\pi\cdot r^2[/tex]

This is because, in radians, the angle of a whole circle is

[tex]2\pi[/tex]

In order to proceed, we'll use the formula

[tex]167\cdot\frac{\pi}{180}\approx2.9147[/tex]

Using this new value, we can now compute the area of the shaded region using the formula

[tex]A=\alpha r^2[/tex][tex]\text{Where }\alpha\text{ is the angle that generates the shaded region in radians}[/tex]

In this case we have:

[tex]A=2.9147\cdot(17.8)^2=\text{ }923.493548[/tex]

Round to the nearest tenth:

[tex]A=923.5yd^2[/tex]
