Calculate the area of the sector for the circle. Use 3.14 as π and round to the nearest hundredth.
To calculate the area of a sector, you need the angle of the sector (in degrees) and the radius of the circle. The formula to calculate the area of a sector is:
Area = (θ/360) * π * r^2
Where:
- θ is the angle of the sector in degrees
- π is approximately 3.14
- r is the radius of the circle
For example, if the angle of the sector is 60 degrees and the radius of the circle is 5 units, the area of the sector can be calculated as follows:
Area = (60/360) * 3.14 * 5^2
Area = (1/6) * 3.14 * 25
Area = 5.23
Therefore, the area of the sector is approximately 5.23 square units.
