To find the area of a sector do you multiply the area of the circle by the measure of the arc determined by the sector?
No. Assuming the measure of the arc is in some units of length along the curve, you have to divide the result by the circumference of the circle. Basically, you need to multiply the area of the whole circle by the fraction of the whole circle that the sector accounts for.
What is the area of a circle if the area of its sector is 49?
The area of the circle is(17,640)/(the number of degrees in the central angle of the sector)
What is area to the nearest tenth of a 120 degree sector of a circle with radius of 8 ft?
Area of whole circle = pi*r2 = 64*pi Area of Sector = Area of Whole Circle * Angle of Sector/Angle of Whole Circle = Area of Whole Circle * 120/360 = Area of Whole Circle / 3 = 64*pi/3 = 67.0 to the nearest tenth.
A central angle measuring 120 degrees intercepts an arc in a circle whose radius is 6. What is the area of the sector of the circle formed by this central angle?
The area of the sector of the circle formed by the central angle is: 37.7 square units.
What does each sector of the circle graph represent?
i thank it is a long thing
The area of a sector is the area of the circle multiplied by the fraction of the circle covered by that sector?
The area of a sector is the area of the circle multiplied by the fraction of the circle covered by that sector. This is a true statement and correct formula.
To find the area of a sector you multiply the area of the circle by the fraction of the circle covered by that sector?
That would certainly do it.
How do you work out the area of a sector when given the length of the arc?
If you're only given the length of the arc, then you can't. You also need to know the fraction of the circle that's in the sector. You can figure that out if you know the angle of the arc, or the radius or diameter of the circle. -- Diameter of the circle = 2 x (radius of the circle) -- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (Diameter of the circle) -- (length of the arc)/(circumference of the circle) = the fraction of the whole circle that's in the sector or -- (degrees in the arc)/360 = the fraction of the whole circle that's in the sector -- Area of the circle = (pi) x (radius of the circle)2 -- Area of the sector = (Area of the circle) x (fraction of the whole circle that's in the sector)

The area of the sector formed by the 110 degree central angle is 50 units squared What is the circumference of the circle?
For A+ 7.22The area of a sector of a circle is proportional to the angle at the center of the sector, with 360 degrees corresponding to the full circle. Therefore, the area of the total circle for which the problem is stated is 50 X 360/110 = about 163.6 square units. The area of a circle is also equal to pi multiplied by the square of the radius of the circle, so that the radius r of this circle equals the square root of 163.6/pi = about 7.217 units. The circumference of the circle is also twice the radius multiplied by pi = 45 units, to the justified number of significant digits (limited by "50").a+ 45.33
To find the area of a sector you multiply the area of the circle by the measure of the arc determined by the sector?
Area of sector/Area of circle = Angle of sector/360o Area of sector = (Area of circle*Angle of sector)/360o
How do you find the arc in a sector?
If it is a sector of a circle then the arc is the curved part of the circle which forms a boundary of the sector.
Find the area of the sector when the sector measures 10 degrees and the diameter of the circle is 12?
For a circle where sector measures 10 degrees and the diameter of the circle is 12: Sector area = 3.142 square units.
What is the formula of the sector of the circle?
There is no specific formula for a sector of a circle. There is a formula for its angle (at the centre), its perimeter, its area.
What is the shaded sector of the if radius is 3 and the degrees is 90?
It depends whether the UNSHOWN figure has the shaded sector as the sector which includes the 90° angle, or the one which excludes it. Assuming that it is the sector including the 90° angle, ie the question should have been written: What is the area of a sector of a circle with a radius of 3 units when the angle of the sector is 90°? It is a fraction of the whole area of the circle. The fraction is 90°/360° (as there are 360° in a full turn and only 90° are required) = 1/4 Area circle = π × radius² = π × (3 units)² = 9π square units → area 90° sector = ¼ × area circle = ¼ × 9π square units = 9π/4 square units ≈ 7.1 square units
What is a pie-slice part of a circle?
It is a sector of the circle
What is a sector?
A sector is a part of a circle, like a slice of pie.
