A sector of a circle has a central angle measure of 310 degrees. If the radius of the
circle is 2 feet, what is the area of the sector?
O 21.64 square feet
12.31 square feet
10.82 square feet
5.41 square feet​

Answer:

[tex] A =\pi r^2 = \pi (2ft)^2 = 4\pi[/tex]

With A the entire area of the circle

[tex] A_s = \frac{\pi}{360} \pi r^2 [/tex]

Since the area of a sector is a fraction of the entire area. Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]A_s = \frac{310}{360} 4\pi = 10.82 ft^2[/tex]

And then the best option for this case would be:

10.82 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know the radius of the circle [tex] r = 2ft[/tex] and the area of the circle would be given by:

[tex] A =\pi r^2 = \pi (2ft)^2 = 4\pi[/tex]

We also know that we have a sector with a central angle of 310 degrees and the area for this sector would be given by:

[tex] A_s = \frac{\pi}{360} \pi r^2 [/tex]

Since the area of a sector is a fraction of the entire area. Replacing the info given we got:

[tex]A_s = \frac{310}{360} 4\pi = 10.82 ft^2[/tex]

And then the best option for this case would be:

10.82 square feet
