A sector of a circle has a central angle of 80 degrees. If the area of the sector is 32pi, what is the radius of the circle?
80 / 360 = 2/9
Area of circle = Pi x Radius^2
32Pi = 2/9 * Pi * r^2
Solve for r:
32 π = (2 π r^2)/9
32 π = (2 π r^2)/9 is equivalent to (2 π r^2)/9 = 32 π:
(2 π r^2)/9 = 32 π
Divide both sides by (2 π)/9:
r^2 = 144
Take the square root of both sides:
Answer: | r = 12 units
