Calculating sector areas and arc lengths
Look at these relationships. What do you notice? Radius = R π R/2 R π 3 π R/2 2 π R Degrees Circumference / arc
What do you notice? 2πR/360 What is π/36 = 10π/360 How can we use = π/36 this fact? 2πR/360 What is π/45 = 8π/360 how can we use = π/45 this fact? 3πR/2 ÷ 270 = 7.5π/270 = π/36 3πR/2 ÷ 270 = 6π/270 = π/45 Rπ / 180 = 5π/180 = π/36 Rπ / 180 = 4π/180 = π/45 Rπ/2 ÷ 90 = 5π/2 ÷ 90 = 2.5π÷90 = π/36 Rπ/2 ÷ 90 = 4π/2 ÷ 90 = 2π÷90 = π/45 Let R = you decide Let R = 5cmLet R = 4 cm
Lets look at some questions? Strategy Answer Put answer into context of question. Calculation 1.Turn into equivalent fractions with ? on the top. 2.Multiply by both sides by what ever is dividing the ? Lines to extract information. Put in the information you know. Question How long is the arc, when the angle at the centre is 125 o and the radius is 4.8cm? 2πR2πR ? Deg. Arc
Question How long is the arc, when the angle at the centre is 125 o and the radius is 4.8cm? Lines to extract information. Put in the information you know. 2 π ? Deg. Arc
Turn into equivalent fractions, with the ? on top and then multiply both sides by whatever is dividing the ? Lines to extract information. Put in the information you know. 2 π ? Deg. Arc
Lets look at some questions? Strategy Answer Put answer into context of question. The arc is 10.47cm when the radius is 4.8cm and the angle at the centre is 125 o Calculation Lines to extract information. Put in the information you know. Question How long is the arc, when the angle at the centre is 125 o and the radius is 4.8cm? 2 π ? Deg. Arc
Look at these area and degree relationships. What do you notice? Radius = R ¼ πR 2 ½ π R 2 3 / 4 π R 2 πR Degrees Area of a circle
What do you notice? πR 2 /360 What is π/10 = 36π/360 How can we use = π/10 this fact? πR 2 /360 What is 2π/45 = 16π/360 how can we use = 2π/45 this fact? 3 / 4 π R 2 ÷ 270 = 27π/270 = π/10 3 / 4 π R 2 ÷ 270 = 12π/270 =2π/45 R 2 π/2 ÷ 180 = 18π/180 = π/10 R 2 π/2 / 180 = 8π/180 = 2π/45 R 2 π/4÷ 90 = 36π/4 ÷ 90 = 9π/90 =π/10 R 2 π/4 ÷ 90 = 4π/90 = 2π/45 Let R = you decide Let R = 6cmLet R = 4 cm
