Question

Write a formula that can be used to find the area of a sector of a circle explain and justify the formula you wrote

Answer 1

Answer:

X/360 (r^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If X is the number of degrees of the sector, then the area will be given by

X/360 *r^2

Where r^2 is the radius of the circle. The denominator of X is 360 because the degrees of a circle add up to 360

For instance, if the sector is half the circle, then we have

180/360 *r^2 (or 0.5(360)*r^2)
