The area of a sector with a 90-degree central angle and a radius of 10 feet is
square feet. (option A)
The formula to find the area
of a sector of a circle is given by:
![\[ A = \frac{\text{angle}}{360^\circ} * \pi r^2 \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ubf0z5z3s80jxzu61v4bic5yelj1afut6n.png)
where:
-
is the central angle of the sector,
-
is the radius of the circle.
In this case, you have a sector with a central angle of 90 degrees and a radius of 10 feet. Plug these values into the formula:
![\[ A = (90^\circ)/(360^\circ) * \pi * (10 \, \text{ft})^2 \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ju9b6iwdvjxp5342tyugcwd0z6mpxjb2gb.png)
Simplify:
![\[ A = (1)/(4) * \pi * 100 \]\[ A = 25 \pi \text{ft}^2 \]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/n0urnd0i7flwr024izqw2crtepremjg40z.png)
Therefore, the area of the sector is
