Question

Determine the relationship between the angle θ of a circular sector of a circumference of radius 10 cm and the area Aθ of the sector; and calculate the area for an angle of π/4

Answer 1

The area is:

A = (θ/2)*R^2

The circumference is:

C = θ*R

And the area of the circle when the angle is π/4 is: 39.25 cm^2

How to find the area in terms of the angle?

For a circle of radius R, the area is:

A = pi*R^2

where pi = 3.14

And the circumference is:

C = 2*pi*R

Now, remember that a circle has an angle of 2pi radians, then if we only define an arc in the circle, defined by an angle θ, the area of said arc will be:

A = (θ/2pi)*pi*R^2 = (θ/2)*R^2

And the circumference is:

C = (θ/2pi)*2pi*R = θ*R

Now, we want to find the area when the circle has a radius R = 10cm and θ = pi/4

Replacing that in the area equation, we get:

A = (pi/4/2)*(10cm)^2 = (3.14/8)*(10cm)^2 = 39.25 cm^2
