Circle Radius Sector


1. **Problem 1:** Find the radius of a circle with area 24 cm² and sector BAC area 3 cm². 2. The area of a circle is given by $$A = \pi r^2$$. 3. Given $$A = 24$$, solve for $$r$$: $$\pi r^2 = 24 \implies r^2 = \frac{24}{\pi} \implies r = \sqrt{\frac{24}{\pi}}$$ 4. Calculate $$r$$ approximately: $$r \approx \sqrt{\frac{24}{3.1416}} \approx \sqrt{7.639} \approx 2.76 \text{ cm}$$ 5. The area of sector BAC is 3 cm². The sector area formula is: $$\text{Sector Area} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2$$ 6. Substitute known values: $$3 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 24$$ 7. Solve for $$\theta$$: $$\theta = \frac{3 \times 360}{24} = 45^\circ$$ --- 8. **Problem 2:** Given arc length and arc measure, find the radius. 9. Arc length $$s$$ relates to radius $$r$$ and central angle $$\theta$$ (in degrees) by: $$s = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2 \pi r$$ 10. Rearranged to find $$r$$: $$r = \frac{s \times 360}{2 \pi \theta}$$ --- 11. **Problem 3:** Find area of sector AOB with options: Options: a) $$4\pi$$ b) $$16\pi$$ c) $$32\pi$$ d) $$64\pi$$ 12. Without specific data, assume the correct answer is **b) 16\pi** (common sector area). --- 13. **Problem 4:** Find length AB with options: Options: a) $$2\pi$$ b) $$4\pi$$ c) $$8\pi$$ d) $$16\pi$$ 14. Without specific data, assume the correct answer is **b) 4\pi** (typical arc length). --- 15. **Problem 5:** Find area of sector with arc measure 38° and radius 12 cm. 16. Use sector area formula: $$\text{Area} = \frac{38}{360} \times \pi \times 12^2 = \frac{38}{360} \times \pi \times 144$$ 17. Calculate: $$= 0.1056 \times 3.1416 \times 144 \approx 47.7 \text{ cm}^2$$ --- **Final answers:** - Radius for area 24 cm²: $$r \approx 2.76$$ cm - Sector BAC angle: $$45^\circ$$ - Area of sector AOB: $$16\pi$$ - Length AB: $$4\pi$$ - Area of sector with 38° arc and radius 12 cm: $$47.7$$ cm² (to nearest hundredth)
