Area with a circle of 81pi. It has a sector with a central angle of 120 degrees. What is the area of the sector. (I really want to be able to work this by myself please help me)

Respuesta :

Answer:

54π square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a sector is given by:

[tex]A = \frac{ \theta}{360} \times \pi \: {r}^{2} [/tex]

Or

[tex]A = \frac{ \theta}{360} \times area \: of \: circle[/tex]

From the question, area of circle is 81π.

The central angle of the sector is

[tex]= 81\pi \: square \: units[/tex]

We substitute the available information to get:

[tex]A= \frac{120}{360} \times 81\pi[/tex]

[tex]A= \frac{2}{3} \times 81\pi[/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]A=2 \times 27\pi[/tex]

The area of the sector is

[tex]A=54\pi \: sq. \: units[/tex]
