The correct Answer is:
To find the central angle of a sector of a circle given the area of the sector and the radius, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Radius (r) = 2 cm - Area of the sector (A) = π sq m 2. **Recall the formula for the area of a sector**: \[ A = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2 \] where \( \theta \) is the central angle in degrees. 3. **Substitute the known values into the formula**: \[ \pi = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi \times (2)^2 \] 4. **Simplify the equation**: - First, cancel π from both sides: \[ 1 = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 4 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 1 = \frac{4\theta}{360} \] 5. **Multiply both sides by 360 to eliminate the fraction**: \[ 360 = 4\theta \] 6. **Solve for θ**: \[ \theta = \frac{360}{4} = 90 \text{ degrees} \] ### Final Answer: The central angle of the sector is **90 degrees**. ---
