Arc Length & Area of a Sector (3.2) JMerrill, 2009
Recall: Arc Length • In geometry, an arc length is represented by “s” • If any of these parts are unknown, use the formula s r θ r Where theta is in radians
You Do: Arc Length • A circle has a radius of 15 inches. Find the exact length of the arc intercepted by a central angle of .
Area of a Sector • The area of a circle is given by • The area of a sector (the “piece of the pie”) is given by • (you can also )
Example • Approximate the area of a slice of a 16” pizza that is 1/8 of the whole pie.
