A circle with area \blue{PRETTY_A_C}
has a sector
with a central angle of
\purple{RADIANS}
radians
\purple{DEGREES^\circ}
.
What is the area of the sector?
A_S
The ratio between the sector's central angle \purple{\theta}
and 2 \pi
radians
is equal to the ratio between the sector's area,
\green{A_s}
, and the whole circle's area, \blue{A_c}
.
\dfrac{\purple{\theta}}{2 \pi} = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{A_c}}
\purple{RADIANS} \div 2 \pi = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{PRETTY_A_C}}
The ratio between the sector's central angle \purple{\theta}
and 360^\circ
is equal to the ratio between the sector's area, \green{A_s}
,
and the whole circle's area, \blue{A_c}
.
\dfrac{\purple{\theta}}{360^\circ} = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{A_c}}
\dfrac{\purple{DEGREES^\circ}}{360^\circ} = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{PRETTY_A_C}}
fractionReduce(NUMERATOR, DENOMINATOR) = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{PRETTY_A_C}}
fractionReduce(NUMERATOR, DENOMINATOR) \times \blue{PRETTY_A_C} = \green{A_s}
PRETTY_A_S = \green{A_s}
A circle with radius \pink{R}
has a sector with a central angle of
\purple{RADIANS}
radians
\purple{DEGREES^\circ}
.
First, calculate the area of the whole circle.
Then the area of the sector is some fraction of the whole circle's area.
\blue{A_c} = \pi \pink{r}^2
\blue{A_c} = \pi (\pink{R})^2
\blue{A_c} = PRETTY_A_C
A circle has a sector with area PRETTY_A_S
and central angle of
\purple{RADIANS}
radians
\purple{DEGREES^\circ}
.
What is the area of the circle?
A_C
The ratio between the sector's central angle \purple{\theta}
and 2 \pi
radians
is equal to the ratio between the sector's area, \green{A_s}
,
and the whole circle's area, \blue{A_c}
.
\dfrac{\purple{\theta}}{2 \pi} = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{A_c}}
\purple{RADIANS} \div 2 \pi = \green{PRETTY_A_S} \div \blue{A_c}
The ratio between the sector's central angle \purple{\theta}
and 360^\circ
is equal to the ratio between the sector's area, \green{A_s}
,
and the whole circle's area, \blue{A_c}
.
\dfrac{\purple{\theta}}{360^\circ} = \dfrac{\green{A_s}}{\blue{A_c}}
\dfrac{\purple{DEGREES^\circ}}{360^\circ} = \green{PRETTY_A_S} \div \blue{A_c}
fractionReduce(NUMERATOR, DENOMINATOR) = \green{PRETTY_A_S} \div \blue{A_c}
\blue{A_c} \times fractionReduce(NUMERATOR, DENOMINATOR) = \green{PRETTY_A_S}
\blue{A_c} = \green{PRETTY_A_S} \times fractionReduce(DENOMINATOR, NUMERATOR)
\blue{A_c} = PRETTY_A_C
