Arc Lengths and Area of Sectors

California State Standards 5. Derive using similarity the fact that the length of the arc intercepted by an angle is proportional to the radius, and define the radian measure of the angle as the constant of proportionality; derive the formula for the area of a sector. Convert between degrees and radians. Objective Use proportionality to find the arc length and the area of the sector.

Arc Length In the video, it talked about the ratio and the proportionality of the circle, write down the formula for the ratio.

In the video, it gae an example to find the arc length. Write down the steps of how the example was solved.

Area of the Sector In the video, it talked about the ratio and the proportionality of the circle, write down the formula for the ratio.

In the video, it gave an example to find the area of a sector. Write down the steps of how the example was solved.

Examples Solve: 1. . What is the arc length if the radius of the circle is 7cm and its central angle is 30 degrees?

2. What is the area of the sector if the radius of the circle is 4 cm and its central angle is 45 degrees?
