The area of a sector of a circle of radius 28 cm is 308 sq cm. Find the central angle of the sector. (Use π = 22/7)

  1. 75°

  2. 45°

  3. 60°

  4. 90°

Answer: B

Solution

Solution: Sector area \(=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times\pi r^2\). Substituting, \(308=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times\frac{22}{7}\times28^2\). The full circle's area is 2464 cm², so \(\theta=\frac{308}{2464}\times360^\circ=45^\circ\). Trick: The sector is \(\frac{308}{2464}=\frac18\) of the circle, so its central angle is \(\frac18\times360^\circ=45^\circ\).
