-0.1 radians
-2.5 radians
-2.0 radians
2.For a particular circle and a sector of the circle, Albert estimates that the area of the sector is around one-fourth or one-fifth of the area of the whole circle. Which of the following are possible measures for the central angle? Select the two correct answers.
-2π/3
-π/5
-π/2
-2π/5
-π/6

  1. area of whole circle = pi r^2 = 25 pi
    we have 1/5 of that circle which is 2 pi radians around
    2 pi /5 = 0.4 pi
    =======================================
    2 pi / 4 = pi / 2
    or
    2 pi / 5
