Question 586927: I am trying to figure the area of a sector of a circle with theta degree being 80 and the radius being 8. When i convert to radians for the degrees i get 4pi/9 then i put that into the equation for area which is 1/2r^2 xtheta and so my equation looks like 1/2(8)^2 x4pi/9 and get 44.68 which is not right.
