Jambmaths question:
A sector of a circle has an area of 55cm2. IF the radius of the circle is 10cm , calculate the angle of the sector.[take $\pi =\tfrac{22}{7}$]
Option A:
90o
Option B:
75o
Option C:
63o
Option D:
45o
Jamb Maths Solution:
Area of sector is given as$\begin{align} & \text{Area of sector is given as} \\ & A=\frac{\theta }{{{360}^{o}}}\times \pi {{r}^{2}} \\ & 55=\frac{\theta }{{{360}^{o}}}\times \pi {{(10)}^{2}} \\ & \theta =\frac{55\times {{260}^{o}}}{100\times \tfrac{22}{7}}={{63}^{o}} \\\end{align}$
