Question -

To warn ships forunderwater rocks, a lighthouse spreads a red colored light over a sector ofangle 80┬░ to a distance of 16.5 km.┬а



Answer -

Find the area of the sea over which the ships are warned.

(Use ╧А = 3.14)

Solution:

Let O bet the position of Lighthouse.

Here the radius will be the distance overwhich light spreads.

Given, radius (r) = 16.5 km

Sector angle (╬╕) = 80┬░

Now, the total area of the sea over which theships are warned = Area made by the sector

Or, Area of sector = (╬╕/360┬░)├Ч╧Аr2

= (80┬░/360┬░)├Ч╧Аr2┬аkm2

= 189.97 km2
