Understanding Circle Sectors

The video tutorial explains the concept of circle areas, focusing on how to calculate the area of different parts of a circle, such as halves and quarters. It introduces the concept of sectors, comparing them to pizza slices, and explains how to calculate the area of a sector based on the angle it subtends at the center. The tutorial provides a general formula for finding the area of a sector using the sector angle and the circle's radius.

What is the area of a half-circle with radius r?

• 2 pi r squared

• pi r squared divided by 2

• pi r squared

• pi r

If a circle is divided into four equal parts, what is the area of one part?

• 2 pi r squared

• pi r squared divided by 4

• pi r squared divided by 2

• pi r squared

What is a sector in a circle?

• A line tangent to the circle

• A circle divided into two equal parts

• A line segment from the center to the circumference

• A region bounded by two radii and an arc

Which components form a sector in a circle?

• A radius and a tangent

• Two radii and an arc

• A diameter and a chord

• Two diameters and a chord

How is the area of a sector related to the sector angle?

• It is inversely proportional to the sector angle

• It is directly proportional to the sector angle

• It is equal to the sector angle

• It is unrelated to the sector angle

What is the sector angle in a half-circle?

• 90 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 45 degrees

• 360 degrees

If the sector angle is 90 degrees, what fraction of the circle's area does the sector cover?

• Theta divided by 360 multiplied by pi r squared

• Theta multiplied by pi r squared

• Theta divided by 90 multiplied by pi r squared

What does the formula for the area of a sector tell us?
