Find area of sector with diameter of 16fy and angle of pie/2 radians

1 answer

To find the area of a sector, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \theta \]

where \( r \) is the radius and \( \theta \) is the angle in radians.

  1. Find the radius: The diameter is given as \( 16 , \text{fy} \), so the radius \( r \) is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{16 , \text{fy}}{2} = 8 , \text{fy} \]

  2. Substituting the values: Now, substitute \( r = 8 , \text{fy} \) and \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \) into the area formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} (8 , \text{fy})^2 \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \]

  3. Calculate the area: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} (64 , \text{fy}^2) \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \] \[ \text{Area} = \frac{64 \pi}{4} , \text{fy}^2 \] \[ \text{Area} = 16 \pi , \text{fy}^2 \]

Therefore, the area of the sector is \( 16 \pi , \text{fy}^2 \).
