A circular theater stage has a designated performance section shaped as a circular sector with a central angle measuring $\frac{2\pi}{5}$ radians. If the arc length along the outer edge of this sector is $8\pi$ feet, what is the area, in square feet, of the performance section?

A
$20\pi$
B
$40\pi$
$80\pi$ Cevap
D
$160\pi$
E
$400\pi$

Cevap

The area of the performance sector is

80\pi

square feet.

First, determine the radius of the circle using the radian arc length formula

s = r\theta

. Substituting

s = 8\pi

and

\theta = \frac{2\pi}{5}

yields

r = 20

feet. Next, calculate the area of the circular sector using

A = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}(20)^2\left(\frac{2\pi}{5}\right) = 80\pi

square feet (or equivalently

A = \frac{1}{2}rs = \frac{1}{2}(20)(8\pi) = 80\pi

square feet).

Use the arc length formula in radians to solve for the radius (

r

Since

s = r\theta

, substituting

s = 8\pi

and

\theta = \frac{2\pi}{5}

gives

8\pi = r \cdot \frac{2\pi}{5}

, so

r = 8\pi \cdot \frac{5}{2\pi} = 20

feet.

The radius of the circular stage is required to calculate the sector area.

Calculate the area of the sector using the formula

A = \frac{1}{2}r^2\theta

(or

A = \frac{1}{2}rs

A = \frac{1}{2}(20)^2\left(\frac{2\pi}{5}\right) = \frac{1}{2}(400)\left(\frac{2\pi}{5}\right) = 200\left(\frac{2\pi}{5}\right) = 80\pi

square feet.

Applying the known radius and central angle into the sector area formula yields the final area.
