Tick the correct answer in the following: Area of a sector of angle p (in degrees) of a circle with radius R is
(a) $\frac{p}{180^o} \times 2 \pi R$
(b) $\frac{p}{180^o} \times \pi R^2$
(c) $\frac{p}{360^o} \times 2 \pi R$
(d) $\frac{p}{720^o} \times 2 \pi R^2$
Given:
Angle of the sector $=p$
Radius of the circle $=R$
To do:
We have to find the area of the seactor.
Solution:
We know that,
Area of a sector $=\frac{\pi r^{2} \theta}{360^o}$
Here,
$\theta=p$ and radius $=\mathrm{R}$
Therefore,
Area of the sector $=\frac{\pi R^{2} p}{360^o}$
$=\frac{p}{360^o} \times \pi R^{2}$
Multiplying and dividing by 2, we get,
$=\frac{2}{2}\times\frac{p}{360^o} \times \pi R^{2}$
$=\frac{p}{720^o} \times 2 \pi R^{2}$
