What is the area of a sector with a radius of 7 cm and a central angle of 270 degrees?

Using the formula $$A = \frac{x}{360} \times \text{π} r^2$$ , we have: $$A = \frac{270}{360} \times \text{π} \times 7^2 = \frac{3}{4} \times \text{π} \times 49 = \frac{147\text{π}}{4} \text{ cm}^2 \text{ (approximately 115.19 cm}^2)$$ .

What is the area of a sector with a radius of 4 cm and a central angle of 60 degrees?

Using the formula $$A = \frac{x}{360} \times \text{π} r^2$$ , we have: $$A = \frac{60}{360} \times \text{π} \times 4^2 = \frac{1}{6} \times \text{π} \times 16 = \frac{8\text{π}}{3} \text{ cm}^2 \text{ (approximately 8.38 cm}^2)$$ .

What is the significance of the fraction $$\frac{x}{360}$$ in the area of a sector formula?

The fraction $$\frac{x}{360}$$ represents the proportion of the circle that the sector occupies, based on the central angle x.

If a sector has a central angle of 180 degrees, what fraction of the circle does it represent?

A sector with a central angle of 180 degrees represents half of the circle, or $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

What is the area of a sector with a radius of 3 cm and a central angle of 120 degrees?

Using the formula $$A = \frac{x}{360} \times \text{π} r^2$$ , we have: $$A = \frac{120}{360} \times \text{π} \times 3^2 = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{π} \times 9 = 3\text{π} \text{ cm}^2 \text{ (approximately 9.42 cm}^2)$$ .

What happens to the area of a sector if the radius is doubled?

If the radius is doubled, the area of the sector increases by a factor of four, since area is proportional to the square of the radius.

What is the area of a sector with a radius of 8 cm and a central angle of 45 degrees?

Using the formula $$A = \frac{x}{360} \times \text{π} r^2$$ , we have: $$A = \frac{45}{360} \times \text{π} \times 8^2 = \frac{1}{8} \times \text{π} \times 64 = 8\text{π} \text{ cm}^2 \text{ (approximately 25.13 cm}^2)$$ .

What is the area of a sector with a radius of 5 cm and a central angle of 30 degrees?

Using the formula $$A = \frac{x}{360} \times \text{π} r^2$$ , we have: $$A = \frac{30}{360} \times \text{π} \times 5^2 = \frac{1}{12} \times \text{π} \times 25 = \frac{25\text{π}}{12} \text{ cm}^2 \text{ (approximately 6.54 cm}^2)$$ .
