Overview

This chapter focuses on understanding and calculating areas of different parts of a circle, specifically sectors and segments. Building upon your knowledge of basic circle properties, you will learn to find areas of portions of circles that are commonly encountered in real-life applications and comp

Key Concepts

A sector is the portion

A sector is the portion of a circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc. It looks like a slice of pizza. The angle between the tw

A segment is the portion

A segment is the portion of a circular region enclosed between a chord and the corresponding arc. It is the area cut off by a chord. Minor segment is

Area of sector = (θ/360°) ×

Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr², where θ is the angle in degrees and r is the radius. This formula is derived using unitary method, considering that a

Length of arc = (θ/360°) ×

Length of arc = (θ/360°) × 2πr, where θ is the angle in degrees and r is the radius. This gives the curved boundary length of a sector.

Area of segment = Area

Area of segment = Area of corresponding sector - Area of corresponding triangle. This involves calculating the sector area first, then subtracting the
