Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius 14 cm and angle of sector is \(45^\circ\)

The area of a sector is \(\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times\pi r^2\). Here \(\frac{45}{360}=\frac18\) and \(\pi r^2=\frac{22}{7}\times14\times14=616\) cm\(^2\), so the area is…

Find the area of the sector of a circle of radius 14 cm and angle of sector is 45∘45^\circ

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The area of a sector is θ360∘×πr2\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times\pi r^2. Here 45360=18\frac{45}{360}=\frac18 and πr2=227×14×14=616\pi r^2=\frac{22}{7}\times14\times14=616 cm2^2, so the area is 18×616=77\frac18\times616=77 cm2^2. 616 cm2^2 is the whole circle, and a 45∘45^\circ sector is only one-eighth of it.
