Since the radius of this circle is 7 units, the area of sector PQR bounded by a 75° arc is: C. 32.05
.
In Mathematics and Geometry, the area of a sector can be calculated by using the following formula:
Area of sector = π
× θ/360
Where:
- r represents the radius of a circle.
- θ represents the central angle.
Note: The measure of an intercepted arc is equal to the central angle of a circle.
By substituting the given parameters into the area of a sector formula, we have the following;
Area of sector = π
× θ/360
Area of sector PQR = 3.14 ×
× 75/360
Area of sector PQR = 3.14 × 49 × 5/24
Area of sector PQR = 3.14 × 245/24
Area of sector PQR = 32.05 square inches.
