SECTOR OF A

CIRCLE
SECTOR OF A CIRCLE
•A sector of a circle is a region bounded
by an arc of the circle and the two radii
to the end points of the arc . To find the
area of a circle , get the product of the
ratio
measure of the arc And the are of the circle

The radius of C is 10 cm. if m arc AB=60 what is the are of the sector ABC

B. Find the are (A) of the circle using the equation a= π^2, where r is
the length of the radius.

A = π^2

= π ( 10 cm)^2

= 100 π cm^2
C. Get the product of the ratio measure of the arc
360
And the area of the circle

Area of sector ABC= [1/6} ( 100 πcm^2)

The are of sector ABC is 50 π cm^2

Let's say you have a sector with a central angle of 60° and a
radius of 55 units.

A= x π x (5)^2 So, the area of the sector is 25/6​π
