The following questions concern a circle of radius 4 cm.
a) Determine the area of the sector of a circle that subtends an angle of 2π/3 radians.
-----
Area of the whole circle:: pi*4^2 = 16pi
-----
2pi/3 is (1/3)2pi, so the area is (1/3)(16pi) = (5 1/3)pi
-----------------------
b) Determine the angle at the centre of the circle that is subtended by an arc 2 cm long. Express your answer in terms of π radians accurate to 2 decimal places.
---------
theta (in radians) = (arc length)/(radius)
-----
Your Problem:
theta = (2 cm)/r = (2cm)/(4cm) = 0.50 radian
