A sector of a circle is bounded by two radii 7cm long and an arc length 6cm. Find the area of the sector.
-
A.
42cm2
-
B.
3cm2
-
C.
21cm2
-
D.
24cm2
-
E.
12cm2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Length of arc = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x 2\(\pi\)r = 6
\(\theta\) x 2\(\pi\)r = 360 x 6
\(\theta\) = \(\frac{360 \times 6}{2\pi r}\)
Area of the sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360}\) x \(\pi\)r2
\(\frac{360 \times 6}{2\pi r}\) x \(\frac{1}{360}\) x \(\pi\)r2 = r
= 3 x 7
= 21cm2
