Question

If the radius of a circle is 6 inches and the corresponding central angle of arc AB is 60°, what is the
area of the sector corresponding to minor arc AB and its central angle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sector angle will be 30 degree

Answer 2

Answer:

Area = π r 2

C

360

where:

C is the central angle in degrees

r is the radius of the circle of which the sector is part.

π is Pi, approximately 3.142

This is the method used in the animation above.

If you know the arc length

Area =

R L

2

where:

L is the arc length.

R is the radius of the circle of which the sector is part.
