What is a sector in a circle?

Back

A sector is a region of a circle bounded by two radii and the arc between them.

What is the difference between a secant and a tangent?

Back

A secant intersects a circle at two points, while a tangent touches the circle at exactly one point.

How do you find the length of an arc in a circle?

Back

The length of an arc can be found using the formula: (θ/360) * 2πr, where θ is the central angle in degrees and r is the radius.
