A = pi r^2 (200 / 360) = 200
solve for r
then
circumference = 2 pi r
arc length = (200/360) * circumference
solve for r
then
circumference = 2 pi r
arc length = (200/360) * circumference
assuming that is 200°,
200/360 = θ/2π
θ = 2π(200/360) = 10π/9 radians
area of sector = r^2 θ
800 = r^2(10π/9)
r^2 = 9/10π (800) = 720/π
r = 15.139
arc length = r θ = 15.139(10π/9) = 52.844 cm
200/360 = θ/2π
θ = 2π(200/360) = 10π/9 radians
area of sector = r^2 θ
800 = r^2(10π/9)
r^2 = 9/10π (800) = 720/π
r = 15.139
arc length = r θ = 15.139(10π/9) = 52.844 cm
