Example Question #11 : How To Find The Area Of A Sector

Find the area of a sector that has a central angle of degrees and a radius of .

Possible Answers:

68.72

72.56

69.01

77.82

Correct answer:

68.72

Explanation:

The circle in question could be depicted as shown in the figure.

Recall the formula for finding the area of a sector of a circle:

$\text{Area of Sector}=\frac{\text{Central Angle}}{360}\times\pi\times r^2$

Since the central angle and the radius are given in the question, plug them in to find the area of the sector.

$\text{Area of Sector}=\frac{35}{360}\times\pi\times 15^2$

Solve and round to two decimal places.

$\text{Area of Sector}=68.72$

Example Question #43 : Circles

If the sector in the provided illustration has an angle of $37.5^{\circ}$ and the circle has a radius of $4.2\;cm$ , what is the area of the sector? Round to the nearest tenth.

Varsity geometry

Possible Answers:

$7.2\;cm^2$

$4.3\;cm^2$

$5.8\;cm^2$

$8.7\;cm^2$

$6.2\;cm^2$

Correct answer:

$5.8\;cm^2$

Explanation:

To solve for the area of the sector, it helps to solve for the area of the complete circle and multiple that value by the sector angle over the full $360^{\circ}$ of a complete circle:

$\\Sector\;Area=\pi\cdot(4.2\;cm)^2\cdot\frac{37.5^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\\Sector\;Area=55.42\;cm^2\cdot\frac{37.5^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\approx5.8\;cm^2$

Example Question #16 : How To Find The Area Of A Sector

Find the area of the sector that has a central angle of 160 degrees and a radius of .

Possible Answers:

201.06

197.55

188.04

149.24

Correct answer:

201.06

Explanation:

The circle in question can be drawn as shown by the figure below:

Since the area of a sector is just a fractional part of the area of a circle, we can write the following equation to find the area of a sector:

$\text{Area of Sector}=\frac{\text{Central angle}}{360}\pi r^2$ , where is the radius of the circle.

Plug in the given central angle and radius to find the area of the sector.

$\text{Area of Sector}=\frac{160}{360}\pi(12)^2=201.06$

Make sure to round to two places after the decimal.
