A rope of length 18m is used to form a sector of a circle of radius 3.5m on a school playing field. What is the size of the angle of the sector, correct to the nearest degree?

  • A 33o
  • B 40o
  • C 90o
  • D 180o
  • E 270o

The correct answer is D. 180o

Circumference = 2πr

2 x 22/7 x 3.5 ≅ 22m

22m = 360o

11m = 360/22 x 11  = 180o
