Answer:
Method 1 (using the area of a whole circle and dividing by 4)
First work out the area of the whole circle by substituting the radius of 8cm into the formula for the area of the circle:
A = π ×r²
= π ×8²
= 64π (leave the answer as an exact solution as this need to be divided by 4).
So all you need to do now is divide the answer by 4:
Area of a quadrant = 64π ÷4 = 16π = 50.3 cm² to 3 significant figures.
Method 2 (using ¼ πr²)
Substitute r = 8 directly into the formula A = ¼ πr².
A = ¼ πr².
A = ¼ × π × 8².
A = 50.3 cm²
As you can see it gives exactly the same answer as method 1.
Answer:
64pi / 4 = 16pi, or 50.27
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the area formula:
π * r^2 = Area
Substitute in 8 for r to get 64pi
Then all you have to do is divide 64pi by 4 to find a quarter of the area of the circle, which is 16pi. Or if you want rounded to nearest tenth, 50.27
