The length of a circle is 148 ft. Find
the area of a sector whose angle is 40°,
Transcribed Image Text:The length of a circle is 148 ft. Find the area of a sector whose angle is 40°,
Expert Solution
Step 1: Given and to find

We have 

 θ = 40o and perimeter of circle = 148 ft

We need to find the area of a sector whose angle is 40o

 

Note that here the length of circle is given do not confuse it with the length of the sector of the circle.

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Let us interpret length of circle first-find the radius of the circle

Length of the circle is nothing but the perimeter or the length of the outer boundary. 

The formula for calculating the length of the circle is 2πr

2πr = 148
