a university would like to create a circular eating area with picnic tables. the eating area will have small plants that make a path to create individual sections that form sectors. the angle formed by the plants is 0=120 degrees, and the radius is r = 9m. find the area of each sector. a. 3(pi)m(squared) b. 6(pi)m(squared) c. 27(pi)m(squared) d. 54(pi)m(squared)
Explanation The formula for calculating the area of a circle is; Area = πr^2 Where π = 3.142 r = radius of the circle. When a sector of the circle is involve area is a fraction of the whole circle and it is given by; Area of a sector = θ/360 πr^2 Where ϴ = angle that makes the sector So, area = 120/360 π9^2=27π
