Answer

$50.91^\circ$

Work Step by Step

The Area of sector is given by the formula $A=\frac{\theta}{2}\cdot r^2$,where $\theta$ is in radians Hence, $100=\frac{\theta}{2}\cdot 15^2 \\100=\frac{\theta}{2}\cdot 225\\ 100(2)=225\theta\\ 200=225\theta\\ \frac{200}{225}=\theta\\ \frac{8}{9}=\theta$ $\\\\$Convert the angle to degrees to obtain: $\frac{8}{9}\text{ rad}=\frac{8}{9}\text{rad}\cdot\frac{180^\circ}{\pi\text{ radians}} \approx 50.91^\circ.$
