The arm and blade of a windshield wiper have a total length of 30 inches. The blade is 24 inches long and the wiper sweeps out an angle of 125 degrees.

942.5 in²  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area (A) of a sector of a circle is

A = ½r²θ

where θ is the angle in radians.

1. Convert the angle to radians

θ = 125°  

2. Area swept out by wiper arm

A = ½r²θ = ½ × (30 in)² × θ = ½ × 900 in²× θ = 450 θ in²

3. Area missed by wiper

A = ½r²θ = ½ × (6 in)² × θ = ½ × 36 in²× θ = 18 θ in ²

4. Area covered by wiper

A = 450 θ in² - 18 θ in² = 432 θ in²

5. Insert the value of θ

A = 432 × 25/36 π in² = 300π in² ≈ 942.5 in²

The area swept out by the wiper blade is 942.5 in².
