Question 1 Report

An arc of a circle of radius 6cm is 8cm long. Find the area of the sector
Answer Details
Radius of the circle r = 6cm, Length of the arc = 8cm
Area of sector =  θ 360  x 2 π r2........(i)
Length of arc =  θ 360  x 2 π r........(ii)
from eqn. (ii)  θ  =  240 π , subt. for  θ  in eqn (i)
Area x  240 1  x  1 360  x  π 6 1
= 24cm2
