Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the area of a sector of a circle with a radius of 4 m and a central angle of 90 degrees? (Use π = 3.14)
Correct Answer: 12.56 m²
  • Step 1: Identify the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius (r) is 4 meters.
  • Step 2: Identify the central angle of the sector. Here, the angle (θ) is 90 degrees.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the area of a sector: Area = (θ/360) × πr².
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula. We have θ = 90 degrees, π = 3.14, and r = 4 m.
  • Step 5: Calculate r² (the radius squared). 4 m × 4 m = 16 m².
  • Step 6: Now substitute r² into the formula: Area = (90/360) × 3.14 × 16 m².
  • Step 7: Simplify the fraction 90/360. This equals 1/4.
  • Step 8: Now the formula looks like this: Area = (1/4) × 3.14 × 16 m².
  • Step 9: Calculate (1/4) × 16 m², which equals 4 m².
  • Step 10: Finally, multiply 4 m² by 3.14 to get the area: 4 m² × 3.14 = 12.56 m².
