Question:
What is the area of the SHADED sector of the circle?
Image of the circle is attached.
A) 400π units²
B) 20π units²
C) 180π units²
D) 40π units²
Answer:
C) 180π units²
Step-by-step explanation:
From thr circle, we can see that the given radius is 20 and the shaded part is 162°
The formula to calculate the area of the shaded sector of a circle is =
Area of the circle * fraction of the shaded part of the circle.
We know area of a circle = πr²
Therefore, area of the shaded sector =
[tex] = \pi r^2 * \frac{162}{360}[/tex]
[tex] = 20^2 * \pi * 0.45 [/tex]
[tex] = 400 * 0.45 * \pi [/tex]
[tex] = 180 \pi [/tex]
Area of the shaded sector of the circle is 180π units²
