An irrigation system uses a straight sprinkler pipe r = 500 ft long that pivots around a central point as shown. Due to an obstacle the pipe is allowed to pivot through θ = 220° only. Find the area irrigated by this system. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

\n" ); document.write( "If it could turn in a complete circle
\n" ); document.write( "the area would be pi*500^2 ft
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Since it is restricted to turning 220 deg
\n" ); document.write( "the answer is (220/360)(pi*500^2) = (2/3)(pi*500) sq ft;
