the top and bottom ends of a windshield wiper blade are 33 inches and 13 inches, respectively, from the pivot point. while in operation, the wiper sweeps through 165°.

Respuesta :

The area swept by the wiper blade is 1324.04 inches^2.

The top and bottom ends of a windshield wiper blade move in the form of a circle.

The area swept by the wiper blade can be calculated by subtracting the area covered by the bottom end by the area covered by the top end i.e,

Area swept by blade(A) = Area covered by top end of blade - Area covered by bottom end of blade

A = A1 - A2

A1 =  π(13)^2 x 165/360 = 1567.25 inches^2

A2 = π(33)^2 x 165/360 = 243.21 inches^2

A= 1567.25 - 243.21 = 1324.04 inches^2

Thus, the area swept by the wiper blade is 1324.04 inches^2.
