Question

Circle P below, PC = 4 feet and m CD = 80°. Determine, to the nearest tenth, the area of the blue sector enclosed by

Answer 1

11.2square feet

Explanation:

Area of a sector = theta/360 * πr²

theta is the central angle = 80degrees

radius r = PC = 4ft

Substitute

Area of the sector = 80/360 * 3.14 * 4²

Area of the sector = 80/360 * 3.14 * 16

Area of the sector = 4,019.2/360

Area of the sector = 11.2ft²

Hence tthe area of the blue sector is 11.2square feet
