Question

A circle has a radius of 6 feet. Calculate the area of the

sector formed by a central 30° angle

Answer 1

The area of the sector is 9.43 ft^2

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the area of the sector with a central angle of 30 degrees

To do this, we use the formula below;

Area of sector = theta/360 * pi * r^2

theta = central angle = 30 degrees

r = radius = 6 ft

Thus, we have it that;

Area of sector = 30/360 * pi * 6^2

= 30/10 * pi = 3 * 3.142 = 9.43 ft^2
