Answer:
θ = 240
and
cos(θ) = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Theta is in the third quadrant, that meansit goes from 180 to 270 degrees
Then,
cos^2 (θ) =1/4
cos (θ) = ± 1/2
θ = arccos(0.5)
θ = 60
But in the third quadrant
θ = 180 + 60 = 240
θ = 240
and
cos(θ) = -0.5
The area of the sector is 20π.
Step-by-step explanation:
The central angle should be converted from radians to degrees.
To convert radian to degree :
1 rad × 180/π gives the degree value.
Therefore, (2/5)π × 180/π = (2/5) × 180
The π gets cancelled out.
⇒ 2× 36
⇒ 72°
To find the area of the sector :
The formula to calculate area of the sector = (central angle/360) × πr²
⇒ (72/360) × 100π
⇒ (1/5) × 100π
⇒ 20π
The area of the sector is 20π.
