Ex 11.1, 12 To warn ships for underwater rocks, a lighthouse spreads a red coloured light over a sector of angle 80ยฐ to a distance of 16.5 km. Find the area of the sea over which the ships are warned. (Use ฯ= 3.14) Radius (r) = 16.5 km And, ๐ฝ=๐๐ยฐ Area over which ships are warned = Area of sector with angle 80ยฐ = ๐/(360ยฐ)ร๐๐2 = (๐๐ยฐ)/๐๐๐ร๐๐/๐ ร (๐๐.๐)๐ = 80/360ร22/7 ร 16.5 ร 16.5 = 2/9ร22/7ร165/10ร165/10 = 189.97 km2 Hence, Area of sea cover = 189.97 km2
