Find the area of a sector with a central angle of 170° and a radius of 17 millimeters. Round to the nearest tenth. 1) 857.5 mm22) 100.9 mm23) 428.7 mm24) 25.2 mm2

Respuesta :

Problem statement: we have been given a task to find the area of the sector.

We are given some parameters:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{central angle=170}^0 \\ \text{radius}=17\operatorname{mm} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Method: We will apply the formula:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi r^2 \\ \text{where} \\ \theta=\text{ central angle} \\ r=17\operatorname{mm} \\ A=\text{Area of the sector} \\ \pi=\frac{22}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, applying the formula

[tex]A=\frac{170}{360}\times\frac{22}{7}\times17^2[/tex]

[tex]A=428.7\operatorname{mm}^2[/tex]

The area of the sector is 428.7mm²

The answer is option 3
