Answer:
(a)31.42 inches
(b)942.48 Square Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a sector of a circle with the following dimensions:
Radius of the circle =60 inches
Central Angle of the sector =30°
(a)Arc Length
Arc Length [tex]=\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}X2\pi r[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{30}{360^\circ}X2*60*\pi\\\\=10\pi\\\\=31.42$ Inches (correct to the nearest hundredth)[/tex]
(b)Area of the sector
Area of the sector [tex]=\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}X\pi r^2[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{30}{360^\circ}X\pi*60^2\\\\=300\pi\\\\=942.48$ Square Inches (correct to the nearest hundredth)[/tex]
