Answer:
The area wiped by the wiper blade is

Explanation:
Given:
car's rear windshield wiper rotates = 140°
Total length of the wiper mechanism = 24 inches
Length of the wiper blade = 13 inches
To Find:
The area wiped by the wiper blade = ?
Solution:
The length of the wiper mechanism ,
= 24
The length of the wiper mechanism ,
= 13
Now arc radius
= 24-13 = 11
The wipe rotates 140 degrees
Step 1: converting degree into radians


Step 2: Finding the area of the sector of the circle with radius
The area of the sector
=

=

=

=
---------------------------(1)
Step 2: Finding the area of the sector with radius
=

=

=

=
---------------------------(2)
Step 3: Finding the area wiped by the wiper
The area wiped by the wiper = the area of the sector of the circle with radius
- the area of the sector with radius
From(1) and(2)
The area wiped by the wiper =
-

The area wiped by the wiper =

The area wiped by the wiper =
