Example Questions

Example Question #111 : Plane Geometry

A sector in a circle with a radius of has an area of $8\pi$ . In degrees, what is the measurement of the central angle of the sector?

Possible Answers:

$9.75^\circ$

$15.50^\circ$

$11.25^\circ$

$10.50^\circ$

Correct answer:

$11.25^\circ$

Explanation:

Recall how to find the area of a sector:

$\text{Area of Sector}=\frac{\text{Measurement of Central Angle}}{360}\times\pi\times r^2$

Since the question asks for the measurement of the central angle, rearrange the equation like thus:

$\text{Measurement of Central Angle}=\frac{360\times\text{Area of Sector}}{\pi\times r^2}$

Plug in the given information to find the measurement of the central angle.

$\text{Measurement of Central Angle}=\frac{360\times 8\pi}{\pi\times 16^2}=\frac{2880\pi}{256\pi}=11.25$

The central angle is 11.25 degrees.
