SECTOR AND

SEGMENT OF A
CIRCLE
A SECTOR of a circle is
the region bounded by two
radii of the circle and their
intercepted arc. The area
of a sector is a fractional
part of the area of the
circle.
THE AREA OF A SECTOR:

• The area of a sector which arc measurement is a is


the product of the ratio of a to 360 and the area of the
circle.
𝒂
• Area of a sector = 𝟑𝟔𝟎
• 𝝅𝒓𝟐
EXAMPLE: 600

20 cm
•Find the area of the
shaded region.
SEGMENT OF A CIRCLE

A Segment of a circle is a
region formed by an arc
and the chord having the
same endpoints as the
arc.
To find the area of the segment, subtract the
area of the triangle from the area of the
sector.

Area of a segment = Area of a sector – Area


of a Triangle
ARC LENGTH

The length of an arc can be determined by using


𝑨 𝒍
the proportion = , where A is the degree
𝟑𝟔𝟎 𝟐𝝅𝒓
measure of the arc, r is the radius of the circle, and l
is the arc length. In the given proportion, 360 is the
degree measure of the whole circle, while 2𝝅𝒓 is the
circumference.
EXAMPLE:

𝟎
An arc of a circle measures 𝟒𝟓 . If the radius of
the circle is 6cm, what is the length of the arc?
Given: A = 𝟒𝟓 𝟎

r = 6 cm
