Given:

The area of a sector of a circle is 88 sq. cm, and the angle of the sector is 45º.

Concept used:

1. Area of a sector = (πR2) × \(\frac {θ}{360}\) (R = Radius of the circle and θ = Angle of of the sector)\

2. π = \(\frac {22}{7}\)

Calculation:

Let the radius of the circle be R cm.

​According to the question,

(π × R2) × \(\frac {45}{360}\) = 88

⇒ (\(\frac {22}{7}\) × R2) × \(\frac {1}{8}\) = 88

⇒ R2 = (4 × 7 × 8)

⇒ R = 4√14

∴ The radius of the circle is 4√14 cm.
