Answer:
Area of each sector=[tex]12.6cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Length of each wooden od that connects the center of the fan to its edge ,r=12 cm
Total number of sectors=18
We have to find the approximate area of each sector.
Area of semi-circle=[tex]\frac{1}{2}\pi r^2[/tex]
Using the formula
Area of fan=[tex]\frac{1}{2}\pi (12)^2=72 \pi cm^2[/tex]
Area of each sector=[tex]\frac{area\;of\;fan}{Total\;number\;of\;sectors}[/tex]
Area of each sector=[tex]\frac{72\pi}{18}=\frac{72\times 3.14}{18} cm^2[/tex]
Where [tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]
Area of each sector=[tex]12.56cm^2\approx 12.6 cm^2[/tex]
