Question

What is the sector area created by the hands of a clock with a radius of 9 inches when the time is 4:00?

Answer 1

27pi in.^2
just got the answer on edge,
edge is the stupidest waste of time I've ever used, gotta get them credits to graduate though.

Answer 2

Area of the sector = 27 pi square inches

Explanation:

Given that the clock is having a radius of 9 inches and the time shown is 4:

The clock has 12 hours shown from 1 to 12. When it is showing time as 4 then angle covered by the radii (i.e. big and small hands) would be 4/12 times 360

=120 degrees

Hence area of sector

= central angle x area of circle/360 degrees

=120(9x9xpi)/360

=27 pi square inches

Area of the sector = 27 pi square inches
