Question:

The are of a sector of a circle is 308 cm2, with the central angle measuring 45o. The radius of the circle is :

Options:

14 cm

21 cm

7 cm

28 cm

Correct Answer:

28 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of a sector = \(\frac{ θ }{360°  }\) × πr2 

We have,

The area of a sector of a circle = 308 cm2

The angle of the sector = 45°

According to the question,

\(\frac{ 45°}{360°}\) × πr2  = 308

= πr2 = 308 × 8

= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r2 = 2464

= r= 784

= r = 28cm
