What is a sector of a circle?
Answer
A sector of a circle is the portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed by two radii and the corresponding arc. It looks like a slice of pizza with the center of the circle as the vertex.
What is a segment of a circle?
Answer
A segment of a circle is the portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed between a chord and the corresponding arc. It is bounded by a chord and the arc it cuts off.
What is the difference between a minor sector and a major sector?
Answer
A minor sector is the smaller portion when a circle is divided by two radii, while a major sector is the larger portion. The angle of the major sector = 360° - angle of minor sector.
What is the difference between a minor segment and a major segment?
Answer
A minor segment is the smaller portion when a circle is divided by a chord, while a major segment is the larger portion. Together, they form the complete circle.
What is the formula for the area of a sector?
Answer
Area of sector = (θ/360) × πr², where θ is the angle in degrees and r is the radius of the circle. This formula is derived using the unitary method from the total area of the circle.
What is the formula for the length of an arc?
Answer
Length of arc = (θ/360) × 2πr, where θ is the angle in degrees and r is the radius of the circle. This gives the length of the curved boundary of the sector.
How do you find the area of a segment?
Answer
Area of segment = Area of corresponding sector - Area of corresponding triangle. This is because a segment is formed by removing the triangular portion from the sector.
If the angle of a sector is 90° and radius is 7 cm, find the area of the sector.
Answer
Area = (θ/360) × πr² = (90/360) × π × 7² = (1/4) × π × 49 = 49π/4 = 12.25π cm² ≈ 38.48 cm²…
