    Area of whole circle = π(8^2) = 64π
For our sector:
64π/45 = 2π radians/ θ radians
θ = 2π/(64π)(45) = 45/32 radians, which is 80.57°
The bot had
45 = (θ/360)(22/7)(8^2)
which would give the answer in degrees, but it stated it as radians.
It also made an error in the arithmetic to get θ = 2.29

    AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
A = 1/2 r^2 θ so
1/2 * 8^2 θ = 45
32θ = 45
θ = 45/32 = 1.40 radians

    We know that the formula for the area of a sector is A = (θ/360)πr^2, where θ is the angle subtended at the center of the circle in degrees.
Let's plug in the values we know: A = 45, r = 8, and π = 22/7.
45 = (θ/360)(22/7)(8^2)
45 = (θ/360)(22/7)(64)
45 = (θ/5)(88)
θ/5 = 45/88
θ = (45/88)*5
θ ≈ 2.29 radians
Now we need to convert this angle to degrees by multiplying by 180/π:
θ ≈ (2.29)*(180/π)
θ ≈ 131.3 degrees
Therefore, the size of the angle subtended at the center of the circle is approximately 131.3 degrees.
