Q10:
An umbrella has 8 ribs which are equally spaced (see Fig. 11.10). Assuming umbrella to be a flat circle of radius 45 cm, find the area between the two consecutive ribs of the umbrella. (Unless stated otherwise, use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

An umbrella has 8 ribs which are equally spaced (see Fig. 11.10). Assuming umbrella to be a flat circle of radius 45 cm, find the area between the two consecutive ribs of the umbrella. (Unless stated otherwise, use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

Solution :
Given:
1. The umbrella is assumed to be a flat circle.
2. The radius of the circle ($r$) = $45\text{ cm}$.
3. The number of ribs in the umbrella ($n$) = $8$.
4. The ribs are equally spaced, meaning the circle is divided into $8$ equal sectors.
To Find:
The area between two consecutive ribs of the umbrella.
Step 1: Determine the central angle of each sector.
Since the umbrella is a full circle, the total angle at the center is $360^\circ$. Because there are $8$ equally spaced ribs, the circle is divided into $8$ equal sectors.
Let $\theta$ be the central angle of the sector between two consecutive ribs.
$\theta = \frac{360^\circ}{n}$
$\theta = \frac{360^\circ}{8}$
$\theta = 45^\circ$
Step 2: State the formula for the area of a sector.
The area of a sector of a circle with radius $r$ and central angle $\theta$ is given by the formula:
$\text{Area of sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula.
Given $r = 45\text{ cm}$, $\theta = 45^\circ$, and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$:
$\text{Area} = \frac{45^\circ}{360^\circ} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (45)^2$
Step 4: Perform the arithmetic calculations.
Simplify the fraction $\frac{45}{360}$:
$\frac{45}{360} = \frac{1}{8}$
Now, calculate $45^2$:
$45 \times 45 = 2025$
Substitute these back into the area equation:
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2025$
$\text{Area} = \frac{1 \times 22 \times 2025}{8 \times 7}$
$\text{Area} = \frac{44550}{56}$
Divide both numerator and denominator by $2$:
$\text{Area} = \frac{22275}{28}\text{ cm}^2$
Converting to decimal form:
$\text{Area} \approx 795.5357\text{ cm}^2$
Final Answer: The area between two consecutive ribs of the umbrella is $\frac{22275}{28}\text{ cm}^2$ or approximately $795.54\text{ cm}^2$.
