Area of a sector
Using the same reasoning about radians we can also work out the area of any sector of a circle.
Example
Work out the area of the shaded area
Area of a whole circle=πr2
=π×132 cm2
Logic progresses as follows:
360∘=π×132 cm2
150∘=x cm2
360150 | = | π132x |
x | = | π132×150360 |
x | = | 221.22...... |
x | ≈ | 221 cm2 |
Answer:
The area of the segment is approximately 221 cm2
