Question

A car has two wipers which do not overlap. Each wiper has a blade of length 25 cm sweeping through an angle of 115°. Find the total area cleaned at each sweep of the blades.​

Answer 1

Given,

• Radius (r) = 25 cm
• Sector angle (θ) = 115°

Since there are two blades,

The total area of the sector made by wiper,

$= 2 \times ( \frac{θ}{360} ) \times \pi {r}^{2}$

$= 2 \times ( \frac{115}{360} ) \times ( \frac{22}{7} ) \times {25}^{2}$

$= 2 \times \frac{158125}{252} \: \: {cm}^{2}$

$= \frac{158125}{126} \: \: {cm}^{2}$

$= 1254.96 \: \: {cm}^{2}$

Answer 2

Total area cleaned by 2 wipers

=2× area cleaned by 1 wiper

=2× area of sector with 115∘=2× 360∘θ ×πr2=2×

360∘115 ∘ × 722 ×252

Therefore area cleaned by wipers = 126

158125 cm2 =1254.96
