The area of a sector of a circle of radius 5 cm, formed by an arc of length 3.5 cm is:1. 7.50 cm22. 8.5 cm23. 7.75 cm24. 8.75 cm2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 8.75 cm2

Given:

Radius = 5 cm

Length of arc = 3.5 cm

Formula used:

Length of arc = (θ/180°) × πr

Area of a sector of a circle = (θ/360°) × πr2

Calculation:

Length of arc = (θ/180°) × πr

⇒ 3.5 = (θ/180°) × π × 5

⇒ θ = (0.7 × 180°)/π 

⇒ θ = (126°)/π 

Area of a sector of a circle = (θ/360°) × πr2

⇒ (126°/360°π) ×  π × 25

⇒ 8.75 cm2

∴ Area of a sector of a circle is 8.75 cm2
