Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin with the formula for the area of a sector:
[tex]A=\frac{\theta}{2\pi}*\pi r^2[/tex] and we are given everything except the radius, r. Filling in what we know:
[tex]\frac{49\pi}{8}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4} }{2\pi}*\pi r^2[/tex] and then start the simplification process. I began by dealing with the fraction over a fraction thing, which simplifies the equation to:
[tex]\frac{49\pi}{8}=\frac{1}{8}\pi r^2[/tex] then isolate the r-squared:
[tex]\frac{8(49\pi)}{8\pi}=r^2[/tex]. Canceling out the π's and the 8's leaves us with simply
r² = 49 so
r = 7
