EXAMPLE 3 Use the Area of a Sector Theorem Use the diagram to find the area of V. SOLUTION Area of sector TVU = Area of V m TU 360 ° Write formula for area of a sector. 35 = Area of V 40 ° 360 ° Substitute. 315 = Area of V Solve for Area of V. The area of V is 315 square meters. ANSWER
EXAMPLE 4 Standardized Test Practice SOLUTION The area you need to paint is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the entrance. The entrance can be divided into a semicircle and a square.
EXAMPLE 4 = 936 – [32π + 256] 180 ° = 36(26) – (π 8 2 ) ° ≈ The area is about 579 square feet. Standardized Test Practice The correct answer is C. ANSWER
