To warn ships for underwater rocks, a lighthouse spreads a red colored light over a sector of angle 80 to a distance of 16.5 km. Find the area of the sea over which the ships warned.

Solution :-

Let O bet the position of Lighthouse.

Given, radius (r) = 16.5 km

Sector angle (θ) = 80°

Now, the total area of the sea over which the ships are warned = Area made by the sector

Or, Area of sector = $$( \dfrac{θ}{360°})$$×πr2

= ($$\dfrac{80°}{360°}$$)×πrkm2

= 189.97 km2
