Question 12 Marks
The perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius $5.2 \ cm$ is $16.4 \ cm$. Find the area of the sector.
Answer

Let $\text{OAB}$ be the given sector.
It is given that Perimeter of sector $\text{OAB} = 16.4 \ cm$
$\Rightarrow OA + OB +\operatorname{arc~AB}=16.4 \ cm$
$\Rightarrow 5.2+5.2+\operatorname{arc~AB}=16.4$
$\Rightarrow \operatorname{arc} AB =6 \ cm$
$\Rightarrow l=6 \ cm$
$\therefore$ Area of sector $OAB =\frac{1}{2} l r$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 5.2 \ cm^2$
$=15.6 \ cm^2$
