Question from Alice, a student: the radius of a circle is 7cm the angle of the sector is 68 how do you find the |
Hi Alice,
You didn't finish the question but maybe I can help anyway. The angle of the sector is 68o and the entire circle is 360o. The sector is only a fraction of the circle, in fact it is $\frac{68}{360}$ of the circle. From the symmetry of the circle you can see that the area of the sector is $\frac{68}{360}$ of the area of the circle and the length of the arc is $\frac{68}{360}$ of the circumference of the circle.
I hope this helps,
Penny
