100904 Which Of The Following Could Be Used To Calculate The Area Of The Sector In The Circle Shown Above class=

Answer :

The area of a sector in a circle is given by

[tex]A=\pi r^2(\frac{\theta}{360\degree})[/tex]

Where r is the radius or length of the sector and θ is the central angle in degrees.

For the given case, we have

r = 10 in

θ = 37°

Let us substitute these values into the above formula

[tex]A=\pi10^2(\frac{37}{360})[/tex]

As you can see, the correct answer is the 1st option.
