Understanding Circle Sectors

The video tutorial covers three examples of calculating areas and angles of sectors within circles. Example A demonstrates finding the area of a sector using the circle's radius and angle. Example B reverses the process to find the angle of a sector given its area and the circle's radius. Example C involves a more complex calculation, determining the area of a sector and a triangle within a circle, using trigonometric principles and geometric properties.

What is the formula for finding the area of a circle?

• π times the diameter squared

• π times the circumference

• π times the radius squared

• 2π times the radius
