AREA, ARC LENGTH and PERIMETER of a SECTOR OF a CIRCLE

Here are some sectors of circles. (The diagrams are not drawn to scale).
Find the area of each sector, to a suitable degree of accuracy. Do not forget to include the correct units.
Think of a sector as a The area of the sector
Example fraction of a ‘full circle’. is of this value
