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 =
Area of sector = ½ × r × arc length
According to the given question,
Arc length =
⇒ = 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.
