Example Questions

Example Question #121 : Sectors

A sector in a circle with a radius of has an area of $16\pi$ . In degrees, what is the measurement of the central angle of the circle?

Possible Answers:

$72.11^\circ$

$74.11^\circ$

$71.11^\circ$

$81.11^\circ$

Correct answer:

$71.11^\circ$

Explanation:

Recall how to find the area of a sector:

$\text{Area of Sector}=\frac{\text{Measurement of Central Angle}}{360}\times\pi\times r^2$

Since the question asks for the measurement of the central angle, rearrange the equation like thus:

$\text{Measurement of Central Angle}=\frac{360\times\text{Area of Sector}}{\pi\times r^2}$

Plug in the given information to find the measurement of the central angle.

$\text{Measurement of Central Angle}=\frac{360\times 16\pi}{\pi\times 9^2}=\frac{5760\pi}{81\pi}=71.11$

The central angle is 71.11 degrees.

Make sure to round to places after the decimal.

Example Question #121 : Sectors

Circle z

Refer to the above figure.

True, false, or undetermined: $\angle AWB$ is a right angle.

Possible Answers:

False

Undetermined

True

Correct answer:

True

Explanation:

$\angle AVB$ and $\angle AWB$ , being inscribed angles of the same circle which intercept the same arc, are congruent angles. $\angle AVB$ is right, so $\angle AWB$ must also be right.

Example Question #122 : Sectors

True or false: A $45^{\circ }$ sector of a circle comprises one eighth of the circle.

Possible Answers:

False

True

Correct answer:

True

Explanation:

A circle includes $360^{\circ }$ of angle measure, so a sector of measure $N^{\circ }$ is $\frac{N}{360}$ of the circle. Set N = 45 - the sector is

$\frac{45}{360} = \frac{1}{8}$

of the circle. The statement is true.
