Arc Lengths and Areas of Sectors Geometry Arc Lengths and Areas of Sectors
Arc Length The length of part of the circumference. The length of the arc depends on what two things? 1) The measure of the arc. 2) The size of the circle. An arc length measures distance while the measure of an arc is in degrees.
Sector of a circle A region bounded by 2 radii and an arc. .
Portions of a Circle: Determine the Arc measure based on the portion given. 1/3 of circumference : 6π out of a total 36π on the circle: ¼ ● 360 ½ ● 360 1/3 ● 360 1/6 ● 360
Area of a Sector Formula measure of the central angle or arc m πr2 Area of a sector = 360 The area of the entire circle! The fraction of the circle! .
m 2πr 360 . Arc Length Formula measure of the central angle or arc The circumference of the entire circle! 2πr Arc Length = 360 The fraction of the circle! .
