The diameter of a circle is 16 meters. What is the angle measure of an arc bounding a sector with an area eight pi square meters? (give the exact answer in simplest form)

Respuesta :

Answer: 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter= 16m

Radius= 16/2 = 8m

The area of the circle= πr^2

= π8^2

= 64π square metres.

An area of 8π square metres is also 1/8 of the total area, therefore the arc must be 1/8 of the circumference.

The circumference = 2πr = 16π,

This gives us an arc length of 2π metres.

But since we are looking for the the angle.

In degrees: 360/8 = 45°

The angle of the sector is 45 degrees.

To understand the calculations, check below

Sector of circle:

The radius of circle is [tex]\frac{16}{2} =8cm[/tex]

The area of circle is,

                 [tex]Area=\pi*8^{2} \\\\Area=64 \pi[/tex]

Area of sector [tex]=8\pi[/tex]

Angle of sector,

                       [tex]=\frac{8\pi}{64\pi} *360\\\\=\frac{360}{8}=45 degrees[/tex]

The angle of sector is 45 degrees.
