Question

If a circle has a radius of 7 square root of 2 and it has a shaded region with an area of 34 pi, find the angle within the shaded region.

Answer 1

Answer:

The angle of the shaded region is 124.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's an region inside the circle that is shaded and has an area of 34 pi square units, we can apply the circle's sector area's formula in order to find the angle of this region. The formula is given by:

$\text{sector area} = \frac{\text{angle}*\pi*r^2}{360}$

Applying the data from the problem gives us:

$34*\pi = \frac{angle*\pi*(7*\sqrt{2})^2}{360}\\34 = \frac{angle*(49*2)}{360}\\98*angle = 34*360\\angle = \frac{12240}{98} = 124.9\°$

The angle of the shaded region is 124.9°
