Find the area of a sector with an angle of 55 and a radius of 12 cm. Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest hundredth.
To find the area of a sector, you can use the formula:
Area of sector = (angle/360) x pi x radius^2
Given that the angle is 55 degrees and the radius is 12 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Area of sector = (55/360) x 3.14 x 12^2
Area of sector = (0.1528) x 3.14 x 144
Area of sector = 0.478x144
Area of sector = 68.832
Therefore, the area of the sector is approximately 68.83 cm^2 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
