The radius of the circle is 8 inches when the sector of a circle has an area of 104pi/9 square inches.
A sector is said to be a part of a circle made of the arc of the circle along with its two radii. It is a portion of the circle formed by a portion of the circumference (arc) and radii of the circle at both endpoints of the arc.
Radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on it's circumference.
Area of a sector = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360} \pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]\text{Given area = }\frac{104\times \pi}{9}=\frac{65}{360}\times \pi r^2\\\\\frac{104}{9}=\frac{65}{360} \times r^2\\\\r^2=\frac{37440}{585}\\\\r=8.001[/tex]
Hence, option b is correct, that is the radius of the circle is 8 inches.
