Area of a Sector Formula

$\text{Area}=\frac{\color{#007DDC}{\theta}}{360°}\times \pi \times \color{#e65021}{r}^2$

Given Lengths

$\text(radius)=9$

$theta=270°$

Recall that a circle measures

$360°$

List the value of $theta$ as a fraction of the circle

$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{\theta}}{360°}$	$=$	$\frac{\color{#007DDC}{270°}}{360°}$

	$=$	$3/4$	Simplified

Next, multiply $3/4$ to the area of a circle formula

Use

$pi=3.141592654$ See

$pi$ explained

$\text(Area)$	$=$	$3/4$ $times pi times$ $\text(radius)^2$

	$=$	$3/4$ $times pi times$ $\text(9)^2$	Plug in the known values

	$=$	$3/4 times pi times 81$	Evaluate

	$=$	$190.85175$
	$=$	$190.85 \text(cm)^2$	Rounded to two decimal places

The given measurements are in centimetres, so the area is measured as square centimetres

$\text(Area)=190.85 \text(cm)^2$

The answer will depend on which

$pi$ you use.

In this solution we used:

$pi=3.141592654$ .

Using	Answer
$pi=3.141592654$	$190.85 cm^2$
$pi=3.14$	$190.76 cm^2$
$pi=(22)/(7)$	$190.93 cm^2$

	$=$	$26.93915$
	$=$	$26.94 \text(m)^2$	Rounded to two decimal places

The given measurements are in metres, so the area is measured as square metres

$\text(Area)=26.94 \text(m)^2$

The answer will depend on which

$pi$ you use.

Area of a Sector Formula

$\text{Area}=\frac{\color{#007DDC}{\theta}}{360°}\times \pi \times \color{#e65021}{r}^2$

Given Lengths

$\text(radius)=26$

Recall that a circle measures

$360°$

Find the value of

$theta$ by subtracting the value of the smaller sector from

$360°$

$theta$	$=$	$360-72$

	$=$	$288°$

Next, solve for the area using the area of a sector formula

Use

$pi=3.141592654$ See
