a shaded sector of a circle has an area of 4pi and an angle of 40 degrees. What is the perimeter of the sector?

4/9*pi or 1.395

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that area of the circle, that 4 * pi, we can calculate the radius of the circle, knowing that:

A = pi * r ^ 2

replacing:

4 * pi = pi * r ^ 2

r ^ 2 = 4 * pi / pi

r ^ 2 = 4

r = 2

Therefore, knowing the radius, we can calculate the perimeter:

P = 2 * pi * r

replacing:

P = 4 * pi

That is the perimeter of the whole circle, that is to say 360 °, therefore for 40 ° it would be:

4 * pi * 40 ° / 360 ° = 4/9 * pi

That is to say that the perimeter of the sector of 40 ° is 4/9 * pi, if pi is 3.14 it would be:

4/9 * 3.14 = 1.395
