Area of Sector

Area of Sector As we know that in mathematics we studied many fields and one of them is geometry and in this we study about relation, surfaces, solids, various figures etc but here we are going to study about circle.Now in geometry circle is the shape when we plotted the points and all point are at equal distance from its centre and when we join then we get circle. Now we are going to learn the meaning of sector of a circle and as name shows the meaning is some portion of circle are called sector of circle. Now we are going to study briefly the meaning of sector of a circle, so the meaning of this is that when in any circle the enclosed portion which consists of two radii and an arc is called sector of circle. So there is one another name for sector of a circle and that is circular sector. In this minor area is called minor sector and major area is called major sector. Sector of a circle ;- Here we are going to find out the area of a sector and when we are finding the area of sector then we have to multiply the ratio of angle formed by two radius and 2 to the area of circle. Area of sector = area of circle (/2)

Area of sector = (r2) (/2) Putting all the values in this formula Where pi () = 22/7, value of pi.
= angle formed by two radii. So after simplification Area of sector = r2/2. Now if we want to find out the area of sector we can use this formula so lets take few examples to show how to find area of sector. Suppose that the given central angle is 300 and the radius of this circle is 6 cm and we have to find out the area of sector so Apply the formula Area of sector = r2/2 Where r (radius) is equal to 6 and 300 is equal to /6 radian and value of pi () is equal to 22/7 now put these values in equation Area of sector = (62) (/6)/2 Area of sector = 36 (/6)/2 Area of sector = 3 (3.14) So area of sector = 9.42 cm2 By this way we are going to find the area of sector. Now taking another example in which we are going to find the central angle of circle. So we have radius of circle is 7m and area of sector is 500 m2 now we have to find the central angle.
