Find the area of the sector with central angle 7676^{\circ} in a circle with radius 1111. Round to the nearest hundredth.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. Circle N has a central angle mMNPm \angle MNP which is 7676^{\circ}.
2. The radius MNMN of circle N is 11 units.
3. The area of sector MNP is to be found.
4. The area of the sector is proportional to the central angle of the sector.
5. The formula for the area of a sector with central angle θ\theta in degrees and radius rr is given by: Area of sector=θ360×πr2 Area\ of\ sector = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the area of the entire circle using the formula for the area of a circle, which is πr2\pi r^2.
Area of circle=πr2 Area\ of\ circle = \pi r^2

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the radius rr to calculate the area of the circle.
Area of circle=π(11)2 Area\ of\ circle = \pi (11)^2

STEP 4

Calculate the area of the entire circle.
Area of circle=π(121) Area\ of\ circle = \pi (121)

STEP 5

Next, we calculate the area of sector MNP using the formula for the area of a sector.
Area of sector MNP=mMNP360×πr2 Area\ of\ sector\ MNP = \frac{m \angle MNP}{360} \times \pi r^2

STEP 6

Plug in the given values for the central angle mMNPm \angle MNP and the radius rr to calculate the area of sector MNP.
Area of sector MNP=76360×π(11)2 Area\ of\ sector\ MNP = \frac{76}{360} \times \pi (11)^2

STEP 7

Calculate the area of sector MNP.
Area of sector MNP=76360×π(121) Area\ of\ sector\ MNP = \frac{76}{360} \times \pi (121)

STEP 8

Simplify the fraction 76360\frac{76}{360}.
Area of sector MNP=1990×π(121) Area\ of\ sector\ MNP = \frac{19}{90} \times \pi (121)

STEP 9

Calculate the numerical value of the area of sector MNP.
Area of sector MNP=1990×π×121 Area\ of\ sector\ MNP = \frac{19}{90} \times \pi \times 121

STEP 10

Use a calculator to find the numerical value of the area of sector MNP to the nearest hundredth.
Area of sector MNP1990×3.14159×121 Area\ of\ sector\ MNP \approx \frac{19}{90} \times 3.14159 \times 121

STEP 11

Perform the multiplication to find the area of sector MNP.
Area of sector MNP1990×3.14159×12180.42 Area\ of\ sector\ MNP \approx \frac{19}{90} \times 3.14159 \times 121 \approx 80.42
The area of sector MNP is approximately 80.4280.42 square units.
