Question:-
A sector of a circle has an area of 90 cm2and a central angle of 0.2radians .Find it's radius.
Answer:-
Area of sector = 90 cm2
Central angle = 0.2 radians
We need to convert this central angle to degrees
degrees=radians x 180/π
degrees=0.2 x 180/3.142
=11.5 degrees
11.5
Area of sector= -------- x area of the circle
360
11.5
90= ------ x πr2
360
The above step is having area of a circle formula
Let's find the radius (r) from the above equation
90 x 360
---------- = r2
11.5 π
90 x 360
---------- = r2
11.5x3.142
896.8= r2
r = √896.8 = 29.9
So radius is approximately equal to 30 is the answer
We can use this in circumference of a circle formula to get the
circumference of the circle,similar ,if know the area of sector
for earth we can even find the radius of earth
