What is the area of a sector of a circle with a central angle of measure 30° and whose diameter is 6 cm? Leave your answer in terms of π.

Respuesta :

The Solution:

Given:

[tex]\begin{gathered} central\text{ angle of a sector}=\theta=30^o \\ \\ diameter=6cm \\ \\ r=radius=\frac{6}{2}=3cm \end{gathered}[/tex]

Required:

Find the area of a sector.

The formula for area:

[tex]Area=\frac{\theta}{360}\times\pi r^2[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]Area=\frac{30}{360}\times\pi(3)^2=\frac{\pi}{2}cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\frac{\pi}{2}cm^2\text{ or }0.5\pi cm^2[/tex]
