Respuesta :


[tex]\pi25 ^{2} \times \frac{150}{360} [/tex]
Explanation:
Area is pi×r^2 and you times it by the fraction of the circle you have as its not a full circle.

The area of the lawn that gets watered is  817.70 square feet.

Given that, radius=25 feet angle central angle=150°.

What is the formula to find the area of a sector?

Area of a Sector of Circle = (θ/360º) × πr².

where,

  • θ is the angle subtended at the centre, given in degrees.
  • r is the radius of the circle.

Now, area=150º/360º×3.14×25² square feet.

=817.70 square feet.

Therefore, the area of a sector is 817.70 square feet.
