The diameter of a circle is 10m. What is the angle measure of an arc bounding a sector area 5pi square meters?
Question
Answer:
The area of the complete circle is:[tex]A = pi * r ^ 2 [/tex]
Where,
r: radius of the circle.
Substituting values we have:
[tex]A = \pi * (10/2) ^ 2 A = \pi * (5) ^ 2 A = 25 \pi [/tex]
Then, the measure of the angle of the arc whose area is 5pi is given by:
[tex]theta = A '/ A * (360) [/tex]
Where,
A '/ A: ratio of areas
Substituting values:
[tex]theta = (5 \pi / 25 \pi ) * (360) theta = (5/25) * (360) theta = (1/5) * (360) theta = 72 degrees[/tex]
Answer:
the angle measure of an arc bounding to sector area 5pi square meters is:
theta = 72 degrees
