Find the area of a sector with an arc length of 44 cm, which subtends a central angle of 30°.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1848 cm2.

Given that, central angle = 30°

Arc length = 44 cm

Arc length = Perimeter of sector = θ360(2πr){\theta \over 360}(2 \pi r)

Area of sector = ½ × r × arc length

According to the given question,

 Arc length = θ360(2πr){\theta \over 360}(2 \pi r)

⇒ 30360×2×227×r{30 \over 360} \times 2 \times {22 \over 7} \times r = 44

⇒ r = 84 cm

Now, area of sector = ½ × r × arc length

⇒  ½ × 84 × 44 = 1848

Hence the area of the sector is 1848 cm2.
