The area of a sector is 110.60 sq yd and the radius of the sector is 10.82 yd. What is the measure of the central angle rounded to the nearest tenth?

1 answer

The formula for the area of a sector is given by:

Area of sector = (θ/360) * π * r²

Where θ is the central angle in degrees and r is the radius.

We can rearrange the formula to solve for θ:

θ = (360 * Area of sector) / (π * r²)

Plugging in the given values:

θ = (360 * 110.60) / (π * (10.82)²)

θ ≈ 102.8 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the central angle rounded to the nearest tenth is 102.8 degrees.
