draw a major arc and fill it with a gray color

I am trying to draw the major sector below:

I have made some progress with the following code, but not quite what I want as I am having trouble filling the last bit of the sector.

          You could draw your outline and fill it in one line of Code with draw [thick, fill=gray, fill opacity=0.5] (0,0) -- (95:1.3) arc (95:355:1.3) -- cycle;.



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
          usepackage{pgfplots}
          renewcommand{thesection}{arabic{section}}
          usepackage{booktabs, makecell, multirow}
          usepackage{stackengine,graphicx,xcolor}
          usepackage{lscape}
          usetikzlibrary{arrows}
          usepackage{flexisym}
          usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}
          usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings}
          newenvironment{tightcenter}{
          setlengthtopsep{0pt}
          setlengthparskip{0pt}
          begin{center}}{end{center}}
          begin{document}
          begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1.2]
          %cylinder
          draw[black,thick,dotted] (0,0) circle (1.3cm);

          fill[fill=black,opacity=0.8] (-0.2,0.2) circle (0.8mm);
          fill[fill=black,opacity=0.8] (-0.2,-0.2) circle (0.8mm);
          fill[fill=black,opacity=0.8] (+0.2,-0.2) circle (0.8mm);

          draw [thick, fill=gray, fill opacity=0.5] (0,0) -- (95:1.3) arc (95:355:1.3) -- cycle;

          draw [thick](0,0)++(0:0.25) arc (0:79:0.3);
          node[above] at (0.4,0.2) {$50^{circ}$};
          end{tikzpicture}
          end{document}


          The (95:1.3) moves you to the starting point of your outer perimeter, after that you draw the arc arc (95:355:1.3) with the starting angle of 95, end angle of 355 and a radius of 1.3. Then you don't have to fiddle around with sine and cosine.



          I hope I didn't misunderstood, what you wanted to achieve!



          Best Regards!
          Frieder



          EDIT: I changed opacity=... to fill opacity=.... Otherwise, the dotted line would shine through.

                The (95:1.3) moves you to the starting point of your outer perimeter, after that you draw the arc arc (95:355:1.3) with the starting angle of 95, end angle of 355 and a radius of 1.3. Then you don't have to fiddle around with sine and cosine.



                I hope I didn't misunderstood, what you wanted to achieve!

                EDIT: I changed opacity=... to fill opacity=.... Otherwise, the dotted line would shine through.

                You could draw your outline and fill it in one line of Code with draw [thick, fill=gray, fill opacity=0.5] (0,0) -- (95:1.3) arc (95:355:1.3) -- cycle;.
