Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius

    \[5\]

cm, if the corresponding arc length is

    \[3.5\]

cm.

solution

Given Radius of the circle = r =

    \[5\]

cm

Given Arc length of the sector = l =

    \[3.5\]

cm

Let us consider the central angle (in radians) be

    \[\theta \]

.

As we know that Arc length = Radius × Central angle (in radians)

From Central angle (

    \[\theta \]

)= Arc length / Radius = l / r =

    \[3.5/5\]

=

    \[0.7\]

radians

As we know that the Area of the sector =

    \[(1/2)\times {{r}^{2}}\theta \]

=

    \[(1/2)\times 25\times 0.7\]

=

    \[8.75\]

    \[c{{m}^{2}}\]

Therefore, the required area of the sector of a circle is

    \[8.75\]

    \[c{{m}^{2}}\]

.
