A car has two wipers which do not overlap. Each wiper has a blade of length 25 cm sweeping through an angle of ${115}^{\circ}$. Find the total area cleaned at \[{115^ \circ }\] each sweep of the blades. $\pi =\dfrac{22}{7}$

Ans:
Given that,
Each blade of wiper will sweep an area of a sector of 115° in a circle of 25 cm radius.
Area of sector \[ = \dfrac{{{{115}^ \circ }}}{{{{360}^ \circ }}} \times \pi \times {\left( {25} \right)^2}\]
\[ = \dfrac{{158125}}{{252}}c{m^2}\]
Area swept by 2 blades \[ = 2 \times \dfrac{{158125}}{{252}}\]
\[ = \dfrac{{158125}}{{126}}c{m^2}\].
Therefore, the total area cleaned at each sweep of the blades is \[\dfrac{{158125}}{{126}}c{m^2}\].
