A sector Whos radius is 10 feet, has an area of 200pi/9 ft squared. What are the measures of the central and inscribed angels for this sector?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\theta=\dfrac{4\pi}{9}[/tex] .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Radius = 10 feet

Area = [tex]\frac{200\pi}{9}[/tex] sq. ft.        ...(i)

We need to find the measures of the central and inscribed angels for this sector.

The area of a sector is

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}r^2\theta[/tex]

where, r is radius and [tex]\theta [/tex] is central angle in radian.

Substitute r = 10 in the above formula.

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}(10)^2\theta[/tex]

[tex]A=50\theta[/tex]      ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]50 \theta=\dfrac{200\pi}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=\dfrac{200\pi}{9\times 50}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=\dfrac{4\pi}{9}[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of central angle is [tex]\dfrac{4\pi}{9}[/tex].
