7th Grade Math > Circles and Sectors > Area and Arc Length of a Sector, Formulas and Principles, Practice Worksheets
In the unit on circles and sectors, there are many formulas for the perimeter and area of sectors. Understanding the sector's perimeter and area as extensions of the circle's perimeter and area can help you easily grasp and memorize these formulas. First, what is a sector? Simply put, a sector is a portion of a circle. More specifically, it includes a part of the circle that contains the center. The diagram below helps illustrate this concept. Calculating the area and arc length of a sector is closely related to finding the perimeter and area of a circle. The concept of ratios plays a key role in understanding sectors. Ratio Ratio : A comparison of two quantities. Compared Quantity : The part being measured. Base Quantity : The reference amount. For sectors, the base quantity is the angle of 360 degrees. How do we find the arc length of a sector? When you look at the diagram, it becomes quite intuitive. If the circumference of a circle is C C , what is the arc length of the ora...
