Q12:
To warn ships for underwater rocks, a lighthouse spreads a red coloured light over a sector of angle 80° to a distance of 16.5 km. Find the area of the sea over which the ships are warned. (Use $\pi = 3.14$)
Solution :
Given:
- The angle of the sector, $\theta = 80^\circ$.
- The radius of the sector (distance to which the light spreads), $r = 16.5 \text{ km}$.
- The value of $\pi = 3.14$.
To Find:
The area of the sea over which the ships are warned, which is equivalent to the area of the sector formed by the lighthouse light.
Step 1: State the Formula for the Area of a Sector
The area of a sector of a circle with radius $r$ and central angle $\theta$ (in degrees) is given by the formula:
$\text{Area of Sector} = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times \pi r^2$
Step 2: Substitute the Given Values into the Formula
Substitute $\theta = 80^\circ$, $r = 16.5 \text{ km}$, and $\pi = 3.14$ into the equation:
$\text{Area} = \frac{80}{360} \times 3.14 \times (16.5)^2$
Step 3: Simplify the Fraction and Calculate the Square
First, simplify the fraction $\frac{80}{360}$:
$\frac{80}{360} = \frac{8}{36} = \frac{2}{9}$
Next, calculate $(16.5)^2$:
$16.5 \times 16.5 = 272.25$
Step 4: Perform the Final Multiplication
Now, substitute these values back into the expression:
$\text{Area} = \frac{2}{9} \times 3.14 \times 272.25$
Multiply $3.14$ by $272.25$:
$3.14 \times 272.25 = 854.865$
Now, multiply by $\frac{2}{9}$:
$\text{Area} = \frac{2 \times 854.865}{9}$
$\text{Area} = \frac{1709.73}{9}$
$\text{Area} = 189.97 \text{ km}^2$
Final Answer: The area of the sea over which the ships are warned is 189.97 km².

I have teaching children of classes IX & X since last ten years online and also at my home. You can check my profile for the same. My teaching methodology would be to clear the concepts of the child, make the child practice and then test him on his concepts by giving worksheets. This methodology worked well even with dull students and almost all my students have scored and are scoring well in the board exams.
